I'm sure that H.H. is buried in this cemetery. He is listed in a book called The Bowie List page 24 where he was first buried in a field by Mrs. Lucker's barn, gives his name as H.H. Wood, Co. A, 17th Miss. I've put a copy of this page on here where he was first buried.
I believe his body was removed in the later 1870s to this cemetery.
In 1869 Governor Bowie requested Thomas Boullt of Hagerstown, Maryland, one of the Trustees for Maryland at the Antietam National Cemetery where the Union dead were buried, employ agents to go over the battlefield and mound up the trenches and graves of the Confederate dead, to make careful notes of the locations and, as far as possible, to identify the dead. A descriptive list of the burial places of the remains of Confederate soldiers, who fell in the battles of Antietam, South Mountain, Monocacy, and other points in Washington and Frederick counties, in the state of Maryland, also known as the Bowie List and on this website, was researched by two Sharpsburg men, Moses Poffinberger and Aaron Good, hired by Boullt. They listed 758 identifiable remains, and 2,481 unknown. Included were many buried in Frederick County, not just from the battles along South Mountain, but also Buckeystown, Middletown and Mount Olivet Cemetery in Frederick. Many of those who were buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, 265 named and 158 unknowns, were probably killed in the Battle of Monocacy, July 9, 1864.
When the cemetery was finally begun in Hagerstown, more than ten years after the battles, Henry Mumma was hired for the task of moving the bodies.
