Just A War Yarn
Here is a reminiscence of war time from the Seattle Intelligencer: A strange story in which Seattle has an interest has come to light in connection with the battle of the Wilderness, through the desire of a small boy to get hold of a bird's nest. Henry F. I,owpenny, a corporal in the Thirty-second Indiana Volunteers, lost his right arm at the elbow during the battle by the explosión of a shell. Since then Lowpenny has died, but his widow resides in this city with a married daughter. Bradley Johnson, a cousin of Lowpenny and also ex-State Chancellor of Missouri, now resides on the scène of the battle, and a few weeks ago his Uttle son, while bird's nesting, discovered a nest built in a skeleton hand in the fork of a large maple tree. On one of the bony fingers was found a seal ring which was recognized by Mr. Jamison as having belonged to Lowpenny.
