He also received a wound of right leg. He was admitted to hospital 4th division, Ninth Corps, where the operation of trephining was performed, on August 2d, by Surgeon David Mackay, 29th U. S. Colored Troops. One and a half inches of bone were removed. He was, on the same day, transferred to hospital for colored troops at City Point, Virginia, where he remained until August 8th, when he was sent to L'Ouverture Hospital, Alexandria, Virginia. The left arm had become paralyzed. He was discharged from service April 7th, 1865, and pensioned. Pension Examiner Wm. H. Clendenin reports that he has occasional headache, but no paralysis or loss of memory. The wound of leg is entirely healed, leaving no disability.
