From the Boston Globe, Feb. 21, 1880:
A Stricken Soldier
Mr. James T. Bicknell, a newsdealer at 53 Warren street, was stricken with paralysis at his home on Harrison avenue, near Dudley street, Thursday, and is now unable to speak. He is fifty-eight years old. He was a corporal in Company K, Twenty-second Massachusetts Regiment, was wounded in the right arm at Gaines' Mills during the seven days' battle in front of Richmond in 1862, was in Libbey prison a month, and had his arm amputated near the shoulder. After his release he was appointed a lieutenant in the veteran reserve corps, and remained in the service until the close of the war. He is a member of post 26, Grand Army, and lately resigned his position as letter carrier. The wounded side was first paralyzed, and it extended to his lower limbs, rendering him entirely helpless. He retains his senses, but cannot write or speak.
