"R. A. Leavell, Of Company E, Thirty

He was in John NJ. Palmer's division,

90 was posted in the edge of timber
bordering the Kelley farm. Breast
works were constructed Of logs, rails
and earth. and the boys felt they were
ready for the enemy they had success
, fully resisted the day before But
scarcely had they taken position behind
the works when the division was or
dered nearer the Kelley house and 9TH
er troops were favored by the breast
works thrown up by Palmer's men,
, The Thirty-sixth Indiana, with other
regiments, went at double quick to re-
enforce troops sorely beset, and the
men. meeting furious fire, dropped to
the ground and did their level best to
repel the rebel attack.
1T so happened that Leaveli dropped
down not more than three feet from a
yellow jackets nest. Hugging the
ground close TO escape the hall Of rebel
bullets, he became particularly obnox-
ious to the yellow jackets. stirred to
fury by those same bullets. The In

comrades In his immediate vicinity and
stung them almost to desperation In

with rifles and muskets, and all around
the boys were stinging yellow jackets.

while Leavell was debating wheth-
er he would run from the yellow jackets
and expose himself to rebel bullets, his
ear caught the sound of mimic bah

substance and was coming like spent
ball. making louder buzzing than the
yellow jackets. 1t struck Leavell on
the thumb with the force of hammer,
and he was soon withing in pain, heed
ing neither yellow jackets nor rebel
bullets. The Thirty-sixth Indiana was
at this juncture ordered to relieve the
line In front, and Leavell went forward,
holding his bruised thumb.
After a time the thumb felt better
and Leavell was fighting at white heat
when. about o'clock, the regiment was
attacked on the flank and fell back.
Leavell, when the retrograde movement
began. was behind a tree pegging away
at the advancing rebels. and he didn't
notice that his company had retreated.
He held his tree until the rebels Occu-

own company, and Johnny took the
