Total of 13 killed during the war Total of 10 died from wounds received during battle Total of 25 died from hardships and disease incidents during the war
It is thus seen that in a company of 141 men the total of deaths occurring during the war was 48, 10 of whom killed in battle and 13 mortally wounded; and 25 died of diseases and hardships incident to the war. Many of those who survived were wounded in battle quite severely and some as many as four or five times. Thompson Conner was wounded four times, Savage Station, Gettysburg, Averysboro; L. M. Speers five times, Savage Station, Fredericksburg, Chickamauga, Wilderness, Strasburg; Warren G. Peterson four times, Savage Station, Fredericksburg, Chickamauga, Wilderness, and being disabled was retired from service; Andrew J. Livingston twice, Savage Station and Wilderness, leg amputated; John Drayton Smith twice, Gettysburg and Wilderness. His arm was amputated and he was discharged. He is now well and hearty, and long may he live to do the State good service. Daniel M. Butler was wounded once, at Chancellorsville; Philip W. Dalrymple twice, at Savage Station and Knoxville; John Dalrymple, once, Knoxville; Asa P. Davis, twice, Wilderness and Savage Station; Joshua T. Davis, once, Fredericksburg; Martin H. Gary, once, Knoxville; Euclydus C. Longshore, twice, Fredericksburg and Knoxville; James W. McKittrick, twice, Fredericksburg and Wilderness; Joseph Pitts, G. W. Sadler, G. W. Thrift, once each, Savage Station. Total, 16 wounded who lived through the war. The others escaped unhurt. Some few were discharged, and some were transferred to other commands. The favors of fortune seem to be very unequally distributed. I remember talking with some soldiers after the war, who told me that they never lost a day from duty during the whole time, either from wounds or sickness; while some, whenever they went into battle, were almost sure to be hit. In The Century for May, 1888, there is a very interesting paper on the “Chances of Being Hit in Battle,” and the statistics therein given agree very nearly with the casualties of the company whose fortunes we have been considering. This company at Marie’s Heights had thirty-six men under fire during, or nearly, the whole day. The next morning there were only four able to answer to roll call. The other thirty-two were not all killed nor mortally wounded, but were broken down and weary almost to death, so as to be temporarily disabled. |
