It strongly indicates that the hospital was set up there as part of the hospital system which was created to deal with the wounded and sick from the Battle of Shiloh. Columbus, Miss., for example, had 5 hospitals created for that purpose, during this time period. After about a year, the hospitals at Columbus were shutdown, as the patients had either recouperated or died. Marion Hospital obviously continued throughout the war.
