his death:  Before Moses had any fever he had a severe pain in his arm where the rifle ball was lodged
and he complained of it constantly for several days, saying it hurt like a severe toothache.  His arm began
to inflame and swell from his hand to his armpit and looked like it woud burst but he could not bear to
allow his arm to be touched and would not allow a physician to be called until he was dying.  The first
five days his pain and misery was entirely in his arm and then the fever seemed to extend over his entire
body.  The third day after this he died.  The attending physician at death was Dr. Harrison.
