circa 1867, After leaving the United States service in late 1863, William went back to Marion County, Alabama, where his wife and young son, James W. were living. His brother-in-law, sister and nephew had all died during the war (Enoch, Sarah Franks and James W. Cooksey). He took in his two nieces, Sarah and Cynthia Cooksey. Times were hard in Marion County during this time as people were starving. He took his family, along with his two Cooksey nieces, travelled to Memphis, Tennessee and boarded a river boat for Cairo, Illinois. Aboard the river boat, Sarah J. Cooksey became ill with smallpox and died. During the middle of the night the authorities came on a "dead boat" and took her body away. Cynthia Cooksey, her sister, always hoped that they buried her or dumped her in the river, but rumor was that they burned her body to keep the disease from spreading. |
