10. Re: [CIVIL-WAR] CW DC Hospitals [1]
Alice, am not totally sure, since I have yet to do the research on number, names and locations of Civil War Hospitals in general, but I am assumming the hospital where Dewitt Van Etten was transported and where he was found dead on arrival, was the CW hospital at Judiciary Square. I had another family member, Charles Prentice, a great-grandfather who was a patient there in the 1860's after a CW battle. I think on Charles' muster roll sheet for 89th NY Co H , it mentioned the hospital name and location

Ed: "Nothing But Glory: Pickett's Division at Gettysburg," by Harrison & Busey has a nice section dealing with Pickett's location during the assault. Eppa Hunton of the "Bloody 8th" is quoted there. Re: the Wentz Farm Major John Cheves Haskell tells us the following: "When I got there I found General Pickett & his staff, his division by this time having got back, except for those who were killed or captured, in great confusion."

His name is Starling Waughtel although in a published book he is shown as Starling Wangtel or some such spelling, he was in Company C IN 93rd Infantry. He was born in 1844 most likely in Jefferson County, Indiana and died 1863 at Memphis, Tennessee. I was sent quite a bit of information of the company C 93rd a year or two ago as I wanted to show it on my website where I have a Military page and under Starling Waughtel.
