"Willian Lytle Nichol. Dr. Nichol was probably serving at a hospital in Rome, GA as early as Dec 21, 1862 for Joseph Jones notd him in Rome at that date. On Oct 5 1863 he was announced as currently in charge of a hospital in Rome by Medical Director Samuel H. Stead..... Willian Lytle Nichol was the director of the CSA military hospital in Cuthbert, Ga. He was also a graduate of Harvard University and many people didn't understand why Harvard grads would fight for and support the south. "during the chaotic conditions of late 1864 and early 1865, as enemy troops marched through GA and SC, Surg William Lytel Nichol, at Cuthbert, AG 'was anxious to get his building up and bring his smallpox cases under control'. He remained in charge of Hill Hosp. Cuthbert, at least until March 1865, when he was appt to a medical board of examiners of Cuthbert. On Mar 28, he was ordered to set apart a portion of Hill Hosp, as an opthalmic hospital. [See Bolling Anthonyh Pope] He surrendered at Greensboro, NC 1865" ========= "Hospitals & Medical Officers In Charge, Army Of Tennesee, July 1864 General Hospitals and Medical Officers in Charge, Attached to the Army of Tennessee, July, 1864. During my inspection of the Field and General Hospitals of the Army of Tennessee in July, August and September, 1864, I examined the records of the following:" CUTHBERT, GEORGIA. Hood Hospital, Surgeon V. H. Morrison. Hill Hospital, Surgeon William H. Robertson. Templar Hospital, Surgeon Edward Lea. Across from one of these is reported: In the cemetery across from one of these hospitals lie 19 or 20 Confederate soldiers who died there. Page277 Medical Officers of Army of Tennessee. Cuthbert CSA Hospials An article said that "Hood" Hospital at Andrew (Methodist) College was named for John Bell Hood. "Hill" Hospital was at Baptist Female College "on the hill". Other one mentioned is Lumpkin (aka Templar) Hospital. I found a record of an official complaint to Stout, chief of CSA Medical Corp dated late 1864 about the poor quality and quantity of food there.

(a month after the CW ended.)Â Â Â It's buried in the report but I think you can search for Cuthbert and find it. Memoirs of Georgia: Containing Historical Accounts of the State's ..., Volume 1 page 761 describes Dr Kinsman Clinton Devine. One of the Drs at Cuthbert. The Richmond and Louisville Medical Journal, Volume 23 Â Page 402 describes another Dr at Cuthbert, Dr Benjamin Miller Wible, Who set up the hospitals in Cuthbert, Their purpose was to treat unhealed wounds and deformities. +++++++++++ It was once believed that a Confederate hospital in Cuthbert was named "Patterson Hospital" but research revealed this was a much later time period and was not associated with the Civil War.
