BEVELHEIMER, GEORGE W., Private, Co. A, 19th Indiana Volunteers, was wounded at the second battle of Bull Run, Virginia, August 30th, 1862. The missile entered over the inferior curved line of the occipital bone, two inches to the left of the median line; it then passed forward, immediately below the auditory foramen, and produced a large lacerated exit wound in front of the ear. He was admitted on September 6th to Judiciary Square Hospital, at Washington, D. C. At the end of the third week, although his wounds had nearly closed, there was an entire loss of hearing on that side, the recovery of which the probabilities were very unfavorable. He was discharged from the service, December 16th, 1862. His name does not appear on the Pension List. This case is reported in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, volume 67, page 493.
