Conrad Sellers is not buried at Damascus. He is buried at Kingston, Bartow County, Georgia where he died of camp fever. His grave is unmarked and is one of the crosses in that cemetery.
I put a memorial tombstone in Damascus Baptist Church Cemetery, Banks County, Georgia, where his youngest son, Ephraim Newton Sellers, was buried, so I could have a memorial service for him. It was a Civil War memorial service and so wonderful. The Daughters of the Confederacy in Stephens County, Georgia assisted me in the planning of his memorial service.
