| Enlarged scan of the
2½ x 3 tintype in which the gunshot
wound is clearly visible. Tom typically
combed his hair over this wound and often
wore a cap to hide the injury. Although he
suffered from vertigo and many other
symptoms after this injury, he continued
to work as a self-employed carpenter and
often worked with realty companies. He
appears to have secured and supervised
the work which was often done by his sons
and Pilcher in-laws.
