Thomas Gardner was a private in Company H of the 8th Louisiana Infantry (The Cheneyville Rifles). He was reported missing during Civil War and buried behind enemy lines during The Battle of Antietam (also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg), fought on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Maryland, and Antietam Creek, as part of the Maryland Campaign, was the first major battle in the American Civil War to take place on Union soil. It was the bloodiest single-day battle in American history, with about 23,000 casualties.
From the New Orleans Daily Picayune, 17 Dec 1862:
Louisiana Wounded at Antietam. Also Those Since Dead. Federal Report.
[Among those listed, is the following:]
Eighth Louisiana
Thos Gardner, private, Co. H, bad fracture near head, left femur, arm, flesh, died Oct. 30.
Thomas S. Gardner is buried in one of the unmarked graves in the Washington Confederate Cemetery within Rose Hill Cemetery. As noted in "A Descriptive List of the Burial Places of the Remains of Confederate Soldiers" he was initially buried in "Rev. J. J. Adams town lot, back of M. E. Graveyard" and was later moved to Washington Cemetery.
The Washington Confederate Cemetery map at http://www.whilbr.org/assets/uploads/Confederate%20Cemetery%20Hagerstown.pdf shows B. Gardner but this is obviously in error. The Louisiana men are all buried around him, and he was the only Gardner from Louisiana killed in that battle. You will see the notation to the left of another row to the left that states Louisianians. J. Garto and P. N. Duplesis, who were mess mates of Gardner, are in the same row as he is.
The Rev. Adams previously noted is actually Rev. John Alexander Adams who was the rector at St. Paul's Episcopal church in downtown Sharpsburg in 1866 according to http://archive.org/details/journalannualco29convgoog. Also, refer to the historic site survey at http://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/stagsere/se1/se5/021000/021500/021555/pdf/msa_se5_21555.pdf for more information on Rev. John Alexander Adams.
St. Paul's Episcopal church in downtown Sharpsburg was used as a hospital by the Confederates. They did bury men outside of it, and they were later reinterred at Washington Cemetery.
