In 1906, the Mary Custis Lee Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy bought the former Lexington, Virginia, home of General Stonewall Jackson's home from his widow, Mary Anna Morrison Jackson.  The house was turned into Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital (pictured), which operated as a hospital from 1906 to 1954.  It was Lexington's first hospital and it is where my Dad was born in 1919.

My sister always thought it was ironic that our mother, whose parents lived in the city of Richmond, was born at home.  And our father, whose parents lived on a farm in rural Rockbridge County, was born in a hospital. That's partially because my father's mother had some kind of complication when her first child was born.  So she delivered her second child at a hospital in Norfolk, where one or more of her husband's sisters were nurses.  And she delivered her third child, my father, in Lexington.  I'm not sure why she didn't go to Lexington for the second child except I heard she didn't trust them or like them for some reason.

If you were born in the Stonewall Jackson House when it was a hospital, you can join the Stonewall Jackson House birthday club.  My Dad did that and there is a certificate around somewhere confirming it. The hospital closed when the new one opened.  Later, the house became a museum house and is open for tours.
