into Company B, Second Virginia
Regiment, Stonewnll Brigade I'm 1861 {,
as private, along with Gen. Doug

was Woodworking young carpenter.
The article says of him: ''John was
not one of those rare heroes who
didn't know what fear was.' He
knew very we'll but always met it,
face TO face. de said he was al
ways scared to death in, battle, but
he had a curions way of showing it.
When the battle was :oined, and
blood and ruin were everywhere,
then, wherever the front rank of dam
ger and fighting was in his regiment,
there was John, with shaking legs,
pale face, and tears running down
his cheeks, ready to advance with
the first, and staying with the last
that retreated. Then and there,
without shout or boast, firing steadily.
he did his duty until the last shot
had been firad." john is yet alive.
