  • Introduction

    Convicted of cowardice during war between the states. First Sergeant's accusation was: "You're a coward and nobody can deny it." Was sent to Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas. Sentenced to wear a ball and chain fastened to his ankle in the prison camp. ********************************************************** On Tuesday, Dec. 27th, a man named Moses WRIGHT, living in the town of Pittsfield, some three miles from the this village, was chopping wood for Joseph Mumbulo, with a son of the latter. About half-past eleven, young Mumbulo went to the house to do his chores, leaving Wright in the woods. On returning at about one o'clock, he found Wright lying upon the ground dead. From appearances he had cut a tree and in falling it had gone against a smaller one, which was carried partly down by the weight of the falling tree, when it sprung back, striking him on the side of the head, killing him instantly, as appearances indicate. Wright was 26 years of age. He leaves a wife and one child, who have the sympathy of the entire community. - Chronicle (Oneonta Herald, 1 January 1871).
