Matilda Runyon appointed nurse and EH, with Rachel Downing.
(East Family Journal)
Matilda was the daughter of Joseph and Jane Runyon and would have been 57 years old at this time. Both of her parents were deceased and the Civil War was underway. Kentucky had declared its neutrality three months prior to Matilda's appointment as nurse but it was destined to become the 13th Confederate state in just four months' time.
