Dalton Wayside Hospital

I just came across this article which appeared in the Chattanooga Daily Rebel of January 30, 1863.

George Martin

DALTON WAYSIDE HOSPITAL.

This enterprise has been commenced under favorable auspices. A basement room in Capt. Morris'
new brick building, near the depot, has been furnished for the accommodation of our sick and wounded
friends. Those on furlough, or discharge, are cordially invited to call and refresh themselves free of
charge. Those who may be too feeble to travel, or otherwise detained will be furnished with sleeping
accommodations in the same building.

This is a branch of the "Georgia Relief and Hospital Association," and has been thus far supported
entirely by voluntary efforts. Contributions here, as at Augusta, are respectfully solicited. Donations in
provisions, clothing, or money, may be directed to me, or left at the room in care of Mr. J. H. Lowery.

The following contributions are acknowledged:

From Hon. Wm. Hammond . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$8.00
