Edward Terrell and his cavalry detachment. While attempting to escape, he was struck by two Spencer balls, one in the hand, the other paralyzing him from the waist down. Transferred to a military hospital in Louisville, then to a Catholic hospital in Louisville. He died there at 4pm, 6 June 1865. He was buried in the old Portland Catholic Cemetery at Louisville. In 1887, his mother had his bones brought back to Ohio. The man she paid to remove the body stole some of the skeleton, and years later, parts of it showed up in the hands of a Kansas collector. In 1993, these parts were moved to Higginsville, MO, and re-interred in the Confederate Cemetery there.
