Ralph was wounded, Henry went to Pacucah where Ralph had been wounded to try to get him released from the Union Hospital.

Ralph Petty gave his life the the Cause for which the South felt so justified in revelling against the Union. Hattie Quarles wrote that he was a tall man and had the same kind eyes that her mother, Nancy Jane Petty, had. He and her mother were very close and she frieved over his untimely death as long as she lived. He enlisted in the 3rd KY Regiment and was in the same division as his cousin, Colonel A.P.Thompson. He was a remarkably goo rifle shot and they made him a sharpshooter. Ralph was in the battle of Paducah and was cruelly wounded by a splinter from a house in which he was stationed. This tore away his kneecap, he fainted and was captured. He was taken to a hospital where his leg was amputated, and he was then taken to the Jefferson Barracks at Jefferson City, MO where he died and was buried in an unknown grave.
