| 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.
