THE CHANCELLORSVILLE CAMPAIGN, 1863
...The father of John Higgins was in the Eighth New
Jersey regiment, and was wounded in Sunday morning's
battle on the plank road. He was in the hospital, and
as soon as camp was fixed John went to see his father
in hospital. When John reached the hospital his father
was dead. We all felt sorry for him, and missed the
old man's- visits to his son, which he did whenever he
could get a pass. It was an odd scene to see father
and son sitting together for hours on stump or log,
seldom looking at or speaking to each other, and not a
dozen words spoken except "How are you, dad ?" "How
are you, John?" "When did you hear from home?" "How
was mother?" On parting it was "Good-bye, dad."
"Good-bye, John." How sadly he missed the visits of
his father we all knew, and no better driver, corporal
or sergeant ever served in our ranks. He never
blundered, was perfect in drill, and kindly in
disposition.
