Shared note

Confederate Post:
He lived in Anderson, South Carolina during his formative years.
He attended Yale and Amherst Colleges before attending medical school
at the University of the City of New York where he graduated in 1860.
He subsequently set up his medical practice in Huntsville, Alabama.
Van Wyck’s military record shows that he served as a Regimental
Surgeon in the Third Tennessee Cavalry, Provisional Army of the Confederate
States (PACS) with Forest’s Cavalry Battalion as of October 28,
1861. Records show he was located at Hopkinsville, Kentucky in November
1861, right over the state line from Clarksville, Tennessee. Unfortunately,
Van Wyck had hardly begun to serve in the War when he was cut down
at only 26 years of age. He was murdered (the term used by fi rst-hand
reports) by a local citizen while riding next to Lt. Col. (later
celebrated General) Nathan Bedford Forrest through Marion, Kentucky.
They were returning from a reconnaissance and foraging mission to
the Ohio River on November 30 or December 1, 1861. (conflicting sources).
