"Early in 1864 Versal was drafted in Plattsburgh, N.Y. but on account of the loss of the index finger of right hand he was exempted from military duty. About a month later he went to Virginia in 1864 in the Quartermaster Dept. 3d Div. 24th Army Corps; after the war he was in the employ of the Adams Express Co. for ten years, and in 1875 became Agent of the Southern Express Co., at Petersburg, Va.; in 1883 he became Route Agent, and in 1891 was made Superintendent, Eastern Division, of the Southern Express Company, with headquarters at Roanoke, Va."
