"I", 12th Ala. Inf. for an unknown lenght of time. He was not one to talk of his war expierences, so little is know of them. He was wounded in the left wrist by a "minnie ball" at the Battle of Antietam. He was discharged at the end of the war in Hampton Roads, Virginia, andhad to make his way home the best way he could. Oral history relates that when Frank reached home his father was burning a big pile of brush. Frank walked up and heaved his rifle onto the brush pile. He had enough of war. Frank was not a religious man but neither was he profane. His byword was "duggunit."
