While in the line of duty at Chickamauga, GA on 9/20/1863, he was wounded by a musket ball from the enemy, in the right arm, ball entering the elbow & lodging in the wrist, where the ball remained, and since his arm was weak, he could not use it. He was honorable discharged at Columbus, OH 10/3/1865." Additional Note: His future father-in-law, Peter Pitsenbarger (Arrilla's father) who enlisted at age 48 as a private in Co.
