  • Dates: Jun 30, 1861 - Jun 14, 1865
  • Place information:

    This general hospital was located in the female seminary in the rear of the Union Hotel.

    The Daily National Republican reported on Sept. 15, 1862, that "by a recent order, [the hospital] has been set apart for wounded and sick officers." Dr. J. F. Kennedy, U.S.A., was the surgeon in charge at this time.

Relationship information: The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion reports a fever case for George W. Beeman of the 4th Michigan Infantry. The American Civil War Research Database, however, identifies a George W. Beaman as a member of the 4th Michigan Infantry. Further information in each record suggests that both sources are referring to the same soldier. Beaman (or, Beeman) was admitted to Seminary Hospital as a case of typhoid fever. He received treatment before being transferred to Annapolis, Maryland.
