Soon after the first shots of the battle were exchanged at Timmy's Branch, Confederate surgeons established a field hospital in a small log house that stood here. Some wounded men made their own way there, while others were carried by friends. One of the last soldiers brought in was Charlie Clemenson of the 19th Tennessee, left at the hospital by three friends as the defeated Confederate army retreated. Years later W.J. Worsham recalled carrying Charlie from the field in a blanket with Pink Henderson and Clabe Perry and remembered that Charlie was dying when they laid him down, with a sad anxious expression as they left him in his last trial of life. Union troops then captured the hospital, the wounded, and three surgeons who would not desert the men in their care. Charlie Clemenson and several others later died there, and Federal soldiers buried the dead in unmarked graves in a small family cemetery near the house. The blood stains on the floor remained visible until the house was razed in the 1940s.
