  	H. H. Hall - My cousin, Almond Cheesbro, was wounded in the forenoon of the second solid day's shot. fight, He both corded knees both shattered legs with by a pair of tanned buckskin suspenders. It was in the wheat field. During the night he crawled under a pine tree for shade the next day. He lay under that and another bigger pine and lay there until the forenoon of the sixth before he was taken to the hospital. You will understand his case looked hopeless, and the rule was to pick the most hopeful-looking cases first. When he arrived at the hospital he asked for the head surgeon and asked the surgeon to promise not to amputate if the case was hopeless. He was put on the table and when he came out of the opiate sleep he found both legs gone a little below the hips. He called for that surgeon and told him not to bury those legs for he was going with them. The surgeon put nurses to watch him, but the first chance he had he pulled the ligature off a femoral artery and was dead when nurse came back. If he had had the courage to come home legless, Potter County would had two legless veterans, Michael Dunn and A. M. Cheesebro.
