Kinsman and Capt. McCray, and four officers and 85 men wounded. Among the wounded was Richard (Dick) Jones a member of the Co. A. of Boone. As he fell a boy named Calvin Bradshaw of Co. I fell by his side. Comrade Jones asked him where he was hit and he replied that he was shot in the thigh. He raised himself on one elbow and Comrade Jones told him he had better lie down, and as he spoke a Minnie ball struck him in the side inflicting what Comrade Jones thought was a mortal wound. They were picked up after the battle and fifty one years have passed since they lay on the field at Black River Bridge. At Ames last week Comrade Jones was greeted by a stranger who insisted that he knew him. He denied the allegation until the stranger said, “I’m the man who fell at your side at Black river Bridge,” and repeated the conversation they had when lying there. Comrade Bradshaw had been taken to another hospital, had recovered from his wounds and was transferred to the invalid corps where he finished his term of enlistment. He is now a prosperous merchant in Nebraska town. Fifty one years ago these men were eighteen year old boys. Today they are old and gray but just as full of vim and patriotism as they were then, and you may take it from us that their meeting was an enjoyable one---Independent. -------------------------
