John And Joseph W. Shettles
You have John Shettles as 1830-1863, killed at Gettysburg. John was born in 1825 and was listed as widowed living with his son in the 1900 census. John was legally deaf and was never in the army.
The headstone in Cherry Creek at Ecru was meant for John's younger brother, Joseph W., who was wounded at Sharpsburg on Sept. 17, 1862, and died in a Union hospital on Nov. 9, 1862. The stone was erected after Joseph"s sisters died and the people who knew the dates and places had already passed away.

"Case 573. — Private J. W. Shettles, 2d Mississippi, was wounded at Antietam, September 17, 1862, and admitted to a hospital near Sharpsburg. Surgeon J. H. Pauch, U. S. V., contributed the specimen represented in the annexed wood-cut (Fig. 237), and reported: '"This man was wounded through the knee joint, from the effects of which he died on November 9, 1302. Had this man been operated upon, I am satisfied his life would have been saved." The specimen consists of the bones of the left knee with the inner tuberosity of the tibia perforated obliquely downward by a round ball. The articular surface is eroded by suppuration. The bullet is seen at the point of entrance, whither it appears to have gravitated through its own track and where the fragments are necrosed. The partial fracture of the shaft of the tibia has been slightly consolidated by effusion of callus." -- The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion. Part III, Volume II. (3rd Surgical volume) by U.S. Army Surgeon General's Office.
