During the Regiment''s withdrawl in the face of Breckenridge''s attack at Stone''s River (Jan. 2, 1863), Cpl. Day leaped into the river landing ''wrong'' and injuring his back. This apparently caused him serious discomfort for it appears that a year later he was very nearly declared unfit for duty because of it. However, he stuck in there and was mustered out with the rest of his unit on December 16, 1864.

Thirty three years old when he was mustered in on 9 Dec 1961 as a corporal. He was a farmer in Ohio County, Kentucky and married with two children. He was apparently never wounded during the war but did contact measles and dysentery so bad that he was sick in the hospital between Jan and Apr 1862 and sent home on furlough to recuperate during the first week in May. He returned to ranks on 1 Aug 1862. He was taken out of the field, administratively reduced to private and assigned as a wood chopper for the remainder of the war. He was mustered out of service on 16 December 1864.
