Bullet with long history finally removed from skull
Gregory Burkhardt of this city finally had a twenty year held bullet removed from his skull after a July 17 1865 gunshot. The 22 caliber ball entered beneath the left eye and caused years of head pain and partial disability despite earlier unsuccessful searches by surgeons. Dr Dan McArthur operated through Burkhardt’s left ear to extract the partially embedded bullet.
