From LAFAYETTE CO HERITAGE, pub by Skipwith Historical & Genealogical Sociey., p 92: "Back in Oxford in the spring, 1862, the facilities of the University were made ready to hospitalize many of those wounded at Shiloh. Many died while hospitalized here and they were buried in a small plot on the south side of the campus. ..the first usage of the buildings for hospital purposes occurred during the months of April to November...Rebecca Pegues...diary...'They have 200 or 300 soldiers there and expect more...'" My impression is that use of University buildings for hospital was primarily early in war. There are several sections of the book that deal with aspects of Civil War in the county. My mother bought copy of the the book when it was first published. She grew up in Lafayette Co. mostly around Delay. Although it is an expensive investment, I find I refer back to the book and usually find new information over the years. I think you can contact Skipwith Society through Lafayette Co website--or at least get an address http://www.rootsweb.com/~mslafaye/ Lou Ritter, Kalamazoo, MI DENTON, ESKRIDGE, GOFORTH, LANCASTER
