In a small family cemetery on the Ellwood plantation, located on eastern edge of Orange County, Va., stands a simple granite marker. The only marker in the cemetery, it does not memorialize any of the family burials there. Carved into the face of the stone is "Arm of Stonewall Jackson, May 3, 1863." When he was hit, 2 balls shattered his left arm. Taken to a field hospital at Wilderness Tavern, where the arm was amputated next morning. Pneumonia set in, and on May 10, 1863, the general died.
