7th West Virginia, Carroll's Brigade - Commanded the 7th at Gettysburg, and had his horse shot out from under him. He was hit by grapeshot which struck his sword scabbard, driving it into his abdomen, causing a hernia of the left side. The hernia contributed significantly to his death 29 years later on April 1, 1892. His daughter Mary Lockwood states, "he was seized with a violent attack of coughing, causing the hernia tumor to protrude causing him great pain and suffering, every effort was made to reduce it, but to no avail."
