and Catherine Foster's home on the corner of South Washington and High
Streets
Two surgeons from the Union First Corps, a Dr. Bache of Philadelphia,
and a Dr. Hearde of Boston, spent the night of July 2 in this house
after operating constantly for two days. They arose at 6:00 a.m., ate a
hurried breakfast and left. Five minutes later a shell crashed into the
bedroom where they had slept, tearing the bed clothes to pieces. This
was followed immediately by a second shell, which burst in the breakfast
room over the table where they had eaten. The force broke the forks, and
drove the weights of the clock through the far wall. A third shell
entered through the jambs of the fireplace and hurled the mantel across
the room. Courtesy of Main Street Gettysburg Historic Walking Tour
