Numerous Gettysburg-area barns became hospitals, including the Martin Shealer barn east of town along the Hunterstown Road. In 1932, a local paper wrote, “Forty-four Confederate soldiers…died in this building, and their bodies were buried within 100 feet of the structure.” (Dana B. Shoaf Collection)
