ARTILLERY REGIMENTS 4th Heavy Artillery


The men who enlisted in heavy artillery regiments from this vicinity nat- urally supposed they were to defend the Capitol of the nation and serve in the fortifications.

In a short time several of these regiments suffered losses entitling them to be enrolled on the bloody records of the "Three Hundred Fighting Regiments." because of their casualties at the Wilderness and Cold Harbor.


Comparatively few of the Nunda soldiery had chosen this branch of service, but Portage. Granger and Fillmore were well represented. The men from Nunda were:

Rowland Ward, age 44. enlisted October 29, 1862, from Hunt's Hollow, private of Company E : wounded in action August 25 1854. at Reams. Va. His chin had been shot off and it was thought useless to try to save his life, but as he was living three days after, an effort to save his life was then. com- menced. The skin was drawn together and sewed so as to form a boneless chin. He was fed through a tube. Ile recovered and lived 40 years, but could never eat solid food. He was discharged for disability at Lincoln General Hospital June 23, 1865. This survivor (and the only one who survived such a wound) became an object of general interest, quite as much at Washington as at Hunts Hollow, where he lived for many years after the loss of his chin. He was past 70 years of age when he died at Dalton. A special act of Congress was necessary to pension this man as he was the only chinless soldier who sur- vived his injuries. They fixed the amount at $70 a month.
