Hello David Bodine,
Two updates for you:
Samuel H Bodine, 1827-1888, is buried in Copley Cemetery along with wife Mary Taylor Bodine, 1830-1894.
George F A Tarr, 1823- 29 July 1863 is buried in Section 1, Lot 109, NO marker, buried next to John Moore. Cedar Hill Cemetery, Newark, Licking County, Ohio.
From "History of Licking County, Ohio": "George F. A. Tarr enlisted in company C, Seventy-sixth Ohio volunteer infantry, October 10, 1861, at Newark; died at Black River Bridge, Mississippi, July 28, 1863, aged forty-one years."
An aside about George F A Tarr and Mary Ann Bodine only surviving son, Elmer A Tarr, 12 May 1855-5 June 1926.
In the will of Samuel Bodine, 1787-1872, in part states:
"Third To my grandson Elmore Farr(?) son of my daughter Mary I give and bequeath one hundred dollars to be paid when he comes of age together with the interest thereon after my decease and also the proceeds of a note which I now hold against his father together with the interest accruing thereon. "
"Elmore Farr" (Elmer Tarr) would have been 17 at that time.
Thank you, Bernie Jones

Good morning David,
George F A Tarr died 28 JULY 1863, Black River Bridge, Walnut, Tippah, Mississippi, at the Regimental hospital of camp fever (typhoid fever) and was probably buried near by. Disinterred (as so many were after the Civil War) and sent home to Newark for internment at Cedar Grove Cemetery on 13 December 1863.
I was at Cedar Grove Cemetery several months ago and found:

Thank you for your time, Bernie Jones
