GAMMONS, a veteran of the American conflict of 1861-65, the marks of which he must always carry, having been twice wounded while engaged in the service of his country, has during recent years devoted himself to general farming in the town of Middleboro, Plymouth County. He was born here, November 15, 1843. He remained at home until a few months after the breaking out of the Southern Rebellion, when on October 18, 1861, he enlisted in Company D. of the Twenty- fourth Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers, being mustered in at Readville as a private. The first engagement in which he took part was at Roanoke Island N.C., which was fol- lowed by others at New Berne, Little Washin- gton, Rollo Mills, Whitehall, Kingston, Goldsboro Bridge, and the siege of Morris Island, where his regiment charges the rifle pits. They were next sent to charge upon Fort Sumter in conjunction with the marines, but this plan was abandoned, and they went instead to Jacksonville, Fla., where they spent the winter, and took part in the battle of St. Augustine. The following spring they returned to Virginia, and under General Butler were in the engagement at the rear of Fort Darling, and in the three days fight, three battles, near Malvern Hill. In the battle of Deep Bottom Mr. Gammons was wounded by a minie-ball which struck the bone just above the knee, and passed through the leg. Disabled for field service he was taken on board the hospital boat, on which he remained three years. After leaving her, and while at Beverly, N.J., in August, he was again wounded and obliged to remain there until October. He received his honorable discharge, with the rank of Sergeant in October, 1864. His first promotion after entering service was to the position of Color Corporal, a year later he was made Sergeant, and when he was wounded he was acting as Orderly Sergeant. For several months after his return home, Mr. Gammons was obliged to go on crutches, and he was unable to engage in regular work for two years. He then took up shoe making for a short time, and since then he has followed carpentry and farming, purchasing the farm on which he resides in 1874. Politically, he is a stanch Republican; and fraternally, he is a member of Post No. 8, Grand Army of the Republic of Middleboro. Mr. Gammons married Miss Bessie Bumpus, and three daughters have been born to them; namely, Susan E., Grace W., (deceased), and Bessie M.
