Mrs. John (Caroline Winder) McGavock had her home turned into a hospital and helped the doctors and others tend to the wounded in the Battle of Franklin of Nov 30, 1864, who lay in her home, on her porches, in her yard, etc. She also copied for posterity, the record of each soldier found on his initial wooden tombstone marker. Their descendants thank her for this.
