This is the relic of the war of the
rebellion, that is carried by Walter G..
Jones Of McDonough, Chenango coun-
1y, New York, who served as private
from August, 1862, to the close of the
war, in Company G, Eighth New York
volunteer cavalry. During his service
Mr.. Jones was offered first sergean-
cy. and also a commission as first lieu
tenant, but declined them both, stat
ing he had enlisted as a private and
would be mustered out of the service
as one In referring to the New Tes-
lament Mr.. Jones said:
when | enlisted as a volunteer,
my stepmother gave me the New Tes-
lament, with instructions to carry 1t in
the inside pocket OF my blouse, re-
marking that it would do me no harm,
and that sometime is might do me
some good. The good it did me is at
tested by the two MIME rife balls i'm
bedded between it's covers, for it is
safe to say it saved my life twice.
The ball that is imbedded near the
sop of the book struck me at Cedar
Greek, Va, on October 19, 1864, in the
conflict in which history tells us that
Little Phil Sheridan was 20 miles
away The mimic rifle ball passed
through the first cover, and into the
leaves as far as Timothy |, stopping
at the verse, My arm shall be round
about you in time of trouble
The second ball which is imbedded
in the center of the book, struck me
at AppomattoX, on April 8, 1868, and
passing through the first cover also
pierced the leaves to Timothy L. mark
