Ship's Surgeon on CSS Alabama
Survived the battle beween the CSS Alabama and the USS Kearsage but drowned


Idaho Statesman, published as Idaho Tri-Weekly Statesman
August 11, 1864 Volume I, Issue 8, Page 4
Boise, Idaho

Headline: The Alabama and Kearsarg

"The Alabama at this time was just going down, and Mr. Kell passed the order for
the men to save themselves if they could. The greater part of them jumped
overboard. Among them was Dr. Llewellyn our assistant surgeon. He was an
Englishman, and had long been on the sick list with a sore leg; consequently,
not depending upon his swimming powers, he had lashed himself to a box, but the
box turned and putting him under, he was drowned."
