After searching for 27 years, I have finally found one whom I believe is my g-g-grandfather. He was a member of Company I, MS 8 Infantry, having enlisted at Enterprise, MS August 7, 1861. His family lived in Daleville, Lauderdale County, MS. It is interesting to note that "Lindsey P. Partridge is on furlough from 5 September to 10th to make arrangements for family." His record shows that on February 28, 1862, he was "sick in quarter" and on April 30, 1862 he was absent because he was "sick in hospital near Tiner's Station, TN." He died of Cleaveland (or Cleveland) Disease on November 17, 1862 at that same hospital. Does anyone know what this disease is? He was 27 leaving a wife and four children.

The above post is from PARTRIDGE descent and our commonality is Civil War events and Tennessee. Like you I also like a good mystery is a BIG reason why I am assisting - grin.
But it seems this mystery is becoming quite lengthy and I'd like the name of the hospital located near Tiner's Station, Tennessee and/or info re Cleaveland disease before my next birthday would be good - grin.

I have been made aware (by SKS of this board) of a Tyner located in Chattanooga, TN. I'd Googled and sure enough there is reference to a Tyner Tennessee and now I am reading, scanning, analyzing, noting, etc., and still reading THE MYSTERIES OF TYNER TENNESSEE - did I mention lengthy?
I think I've read enough to go back to the map and find the hospital. Let me do that after much needed sleep.
How can you help? Cleaveland disease. Yes. That is how you can assist. When I'm coherent I will report back - the next day. Thanks kindly, Friend!
