Directly after their retreat a heavy skirmish line of the rebels appeared. It was followed by a line of battle which opened fire on us. We suffered considerably from their fire and fell back toward our infantry. Just after we had passed a small piece of woods about 10 yards from our line of entrenchments I noticed a field officer lying on his back in the dust in the middle of the road, waving his hand toward us. My attention was particularly attracted to him by the fine, new dress uniform and the shoulder straps of a colonel which he wore. As I drew nearer I saw he was wounded.

On April 7, 1865, as the duo led the 16th Pennsylvania Cavalry in a sabre charge against near Farmville, Virginia, both were felled — Rohm by a minie ball which struck the left side of his head. Successfully treated for his battle wounds, but now deaf in his left ear, according to the 1890 U.S. Census of Union Veterans and Widows of the Civil War, Rohm was honorably discharged on a surgeon's certificate of disability on June 15, 1865, and sent home to Pennsylvania. Post-war life Following his honorable discharge from the military, Rohm wed Mary Lindsay (1840–1930), a native of Ireland, who was a daughter of Edward
