• Renbottom, John P.V. (nps.gov) — A young Illinois blacksmith-turned-soldier was sent in 1865 to guard key railroad bridges near Tullahoma, underscoring how strategic the town's rail lines were during the Civil War. Within a month of arriving in Tullahoma, he contracted measles, died at the regimental hospital, and was later buried at Stones River National Cemetery.
