    "Adam served through the war, until the engagement at Chickamauga, where the Union soldiers were forced to yield and during the retreat he was stunned by a bullet, which grazed the top of his head stripping its breadth of hair and scalp from his skull, which felled him to the ground, when he became an easy prey, as a prisoner, to the rebels: he was forthwith conveyed to Andersonville Prison, and later, to Florence Prison, spending seventeen months of starvation and misery in the two places. He was paroled in February, 1865, and returned to his father's, as his discharge had been granted before he was released from the Southern prison Emaciated with hunger and dejected in spirit, his recovery seemed very doubtful: but with strict attention of his parents, good care and nourishment he regained his usual strength; he afterward married here, where he died, leaving a widow and three children."
