Inscription. Jennie Hall worked as a nurse during the Civil War beginning in 1862 at the battle of Shiloh. Four days before the battle started, she arrived with her first husband, Ezra Squires, then got to work nursing sick and wounded soldiers. When wounded soldiers were moved to a hospital in Iowa, she followed and continued nursing throughout the war. She divorced twice, from Squires (1861-1863) and Henry Hall (1865-1873), and then came to Sacramento.
