E, 15th New York Heavy Artillery, aged 24 years, was wounded on the South Side Railroad, Virginia, April 1st, 1865, by a conoidal ball, which entered just beneath the angle of the left inferior maxilla, passed downward and backward, and emerged over the spinous process of the third cervical vertebra. He was treated in field hospital until April 5th, when he was sent to Lincoln Hospital, Washington. On May 23d, he was sent to Summit House Hospital, Philadelphia, whence he was discharged from service on June 15th, 1865. Pension Examiner W. M.
