John Henry Arnold

 

John Henry Arnold
My gr.great grandfather, John Henry Arnold, wounded in the Battle of the Wilderness, 20th Indiana Infantry. The bullet remained in his shoulder until removed in Lafayette, Indiana after the x-ray was invented, 1884. He carried the bullet in his vest pocket after it was removed. I have that bullet today, along with an unspent one he carried to show the comparison.
