The women of Gettysburg began preparing bandages and baking bread for the soldiers. Miss Ginnie Wade became the only known civilian to die in the battle and she was shot while baking bread in her home. A 70 year old veteran of the War of 1812 took up his flintlock and joined the Union Forces fighting with both the 150th Pennsylvania and the 2nd Wisconsin until he was wounded. He walked home to recuperate. When Lincoln went to the dedication of the cemetery he asked to meet with John Burns and to thank him for his service. Burns died in 1872.
