The Isaac Lightner Farm
The Isaac Lightner farm is located on Rt. 97 diagonally from White Church. Private John Chase of the 5th marine Battery wrote that he was taken to the First Army Corps Hospital at the Lightner farm. It was three days before his wounds were dressed and several days after that before he was taken from the barn and received treatment in the house.
Greenleaf T. Stevens, the commanding officer of the 5th battery was also treated on the farm.
In a damage claim filed after the war, Mr. Lightner stated that all the buildings on his 115 acre farm were occupied by the First Corps from July 2nd to July 20th. Not only were the buildings all used but there were a lot of hospital tents erected as well.
The barn no longer stands however the house remains to this day.
