CSA Oliver Hospital, LaGrange, burial info sought

My 2nd Great Granduncle, Sgt. Henry C. Brookin, served in the 6th Arkansas Infantry, CSA, and was wounded 22 July 1864 in the fighting in or around Atlanta. According to his compiled service file, he died of his wounds on 2 August 1864 at Oliver Hospital, LaGrange, Georgia. I seriously doubt that his body would or could have been shipped back to Little Rock plus there is no record of his interment in the family plot there (Mt. Holly Cemetery). Thus my question: does anyone know of a compilation of burial information for soldiers who died in this hospital (Oliver)? Where would be the first place to start looking for such a record? Or is this just a futile quest?

I have done some searching for transcriptions of cemeteries in the area containing Confederate dead but can't seem to find anything much. I understand that the LaGrange area was a major center for Confedrate Hospitals at the time.

Any tips, clues or advice will be appreciated.
