Just googled and found this. The Maxwell House Hotel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_House_Hotel "September 1863, several Confederate prisoners were killed when a staircase collapsed. The hotel was also said to be haunted by a Southern belle and two brothers who had been assigned as guards during the war, one of whom had killed the other and the girl in a jealous rage and was then killed by the collapse of the staircase while transporting the bodies." ________________________________ From: brenda parker <fairplay1951@gmail.com> To: tndavids@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, April 11, 2011 9:42:44 AM Subject: [TNDAVIDS] Nashville circa 1864 Does anyone know abt a staircase collapse in Nashville that killed several soldiers during the Civil War???
