A BOY HERO.

John Hendricks, 57th H., Danville, ILL.,,
writing of the battle of Shiloh and the
heroism of a certain boy soldier, says: AT
daylight, April 0, 1862, the 57th H., was
called into line before breakfast, and
soon after was hOtly engaged. Within 90
minutes we lost over 100 men, killed and
wounded. Our Colonel had been wound
ed our Major killed. My company was
the color company. The colorbearer had
been killed. We fell back. A wounded
boy soldier seeing the flag by the side of
the dead color-bearer, picked it up, and
using his gun as a crutch, made his way
to where the regiment was forming. The
doctors wanted to amputate his foot, but
this he refused to have done. While they
dressed his wound he sang, 1.-The Red,
White and Blue" He was sent North,
but in three months returned to the regi-
ment. We called him .'Hick;" Thomas
Lavory was his name. After the war he
lived at Chicago and was a minister.
