Frank H. Wood - Chaplain - 22nd North Carolina.
Frank H. Wood, D.D., Methodist Episcopal Church, South, served January to December, 1864. He writes: "About one and a half miles above Barnett's Ford, on Rapidan river, we built a Chapel of good sized logs, with two good chimneys to it, covered it with clap-boards, chinked and daubed it thoroughly, making it entirely comfortable. In this house were conducted all the services of a regular station, except that we did not administer the Lord's Supper.
We had regular preaching, prayer meeting, and Sunday School, and the Lord of hosts often was with us in much power to save and bless. Many a time was the shout of triumph heard in this chapel. The full results of these services will only be revealed in the eternal world"
After the great battles of 'Wilderness' and 'Spotsylvania' he says, "many of the faces which I looked into while encamped on the Rapidan, I never looked into any more, and never shall until we all stand before the judgment in that great day."
