3. Ballou, Louisde L., enlisted from Alexandria, Aug. 12, '62, in Co. C, 12th Regt. He passed unscathed through the battles of Fredericksburg and Swift Creek, but at the battle of Drury's Bluff, Va., May 16, '64, he was struck by a minie ball which entered the neck at the right ear, and came out at the back of the neck, carrying away a part of the spine. The flow of blood was so profuse it was supposed that this alone would cause death in a few minutes. Capt. James W. Saunders, his company commander, bound a handkerchief about the wound, placed him in a reclining position against a stump and left him, unconscious and, as was supposed, at death's door. A little later, he was carried to the field hospital where Surgeon Hadley B. Fowler hastily dressed his wound. Two days later, he was sent to Hampton hospital, thence to Point of Rocks hospital, and the next day to Fortress Monroe. There he lay on one side for eight weeks without being moved. From Fortress Monroe, he was sent to the West Philadelphia hospital which had at that time ten thousand beds. From May to December this soldier could not raise his chin from his chest, and six months after the wound was received, three pieces of bone were removed from the spine. Jan. 23, 1865, he was transferred to Co. D, Vet- erans' Reserve Corps, and was discharged July 6, '65, at Brat- tleboro, Vt.
