Just east of Walker's Bend on the Chaplin River north of Perryville, Kentucky, is located the Goodnight Cemetery. At least two homesteads and maybe more comprised the division hospital of Frank Cheatham.
Of course, nearly every home in the vicinity was occupied by a few Confederate casualties after the battle. The proximity of the two homes though, within one-hundred and fifty yards of one another, suggest that the Wayne House became an over-flow for the Goodnight Hospital after it became over-crowded. Recently, an article was located by the original historian of the Sixteenth Tennessee. He mentions the Wayne Hospital. He also mentioned a number of unusual wounds that were inflicted in the fight.
Some may find this interesting.
