| 説明 | Joshua John Casey, my wife’s maternal Great Grandfather, who served in Company H, 2nd North Carolina, Confederate States of America in the American Civil War, and his wife Ellen Ham-Casey on the front porch of their house. The chairs they are sitting in are still in the family (the dining room). A bullet shot a hole in his right hand in the civil war and he was unable to open it for the rest of his life. To trim his nails someone had to pry his fingers open and hold them; the same to hold the cane. Just one of his numerous wounds during the war. He was also one of six Casey brothers who fought for the Confederate States of America in North Carolina Units.He re-lived the war till the end of his life, today what we call Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He would have one of his daughters play the piano to relieve the stress. The piano is still in the family today. After the war the family doctor, who served with him in the 2nd NC, would tell his daughters he was the bravest man alive. Another member of the 2nd NC became a cobbler and made shoes for his family. For J.J.’s daughter Eva he used a shoe last one size too small for her feet and this resulted in her having pain in her feet until the day she passed away.This house and his land were taken from his family by eminent domain for Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina. |
