Age 44 years
Nathaniel Gist Jr studied at the South Carolina Medical College in Charleston but he did not finish his training and apparently never practiced medicine. Like his father, he bought land for a plantation, about 1100 acres nine miles east of Union, SC. He had a short life, dying in 1864 of "army fever," only forty four years old. He had not joined the Confederate Army because of deafness but was infected while visiting a battlefield to carry off the body of a dead relative. A story has it that in a feverish delirium nine days before he died, he sensed from his own deathbed the battlefield death of his brother, General States Rights Gist.
