Wyatt Fuller's Blog

I upgraded my blog to wordpress 2.9 tonight and due to a db error I damn near lost everything. Luckily I do make regular backups.

The reason that I upgraded is that I plan on taking part in Project52. So for the next year I will write at least one post a week. Cross your fingers for me.

And after the ordeal that was restoring my blog I am going to bed.

Today my sister called to tell me that a friend of hers was selling an iPod touch. I bought it and am actually posting this from it. Epic win!

The reunion will be Saturday September 19th.

I have found some interesting documents lately about my great-great-great grandfather Wyatt Lucius Chamblin. He was born in 1841 and served in the confederate army.

Chamblin, Wyatt L. – private in 1st Co. A, 12th Battn. Ga. Light Artillery April 10, 1862. Transferred to Co. A, 63d Regiment Ga. Inf. Captured and sent to U. S. Field Hospital at Big Shanty, Ga. June 28, 1864, with gunshot wound fracture of left thigh resulting in amputation above knee. Paroled at Camp Douglas, Ill. and forwarded to City Point, Va. for exchange March 14, 1865.

Now this is where the documents come in. I found the paperwork he filed for his pension from the war. How much was a leg worth? $100. I have posted all the images on my site that is devoted to pictures fullerfarm.net.
