My mother had three brothers in
the Civil War. Two of them sleep on
Virginia battlefields, both being kill
ed in battle in the terrible fights
around Richmond. One OF them was
wounded seven times during the war,
some of the wounds being slight. The
third brother of my mother who
served as a soldier belonged to
Tennessee company, he having be-
come a citizen OF that State just prior
to the beginning of the war. He was
wounded but recovered, and lived in
that State until a few years ago.
