HISTORY OF WILKINSON COUNTY
THE DEATH OF A WILKINSON COUNTY SOLDIER IN VIRGINIA
The following two letters depict a striking counterpart of Norton's "Bingen on the Rhine." William J. Sanders was a brother of Mrs. J. W. Hooks, Chairman of the History Committee for this book. William N. Ryle was the father of Mrs. J. A. Stokes, of Gordon, both members of Co. B, 14th Georgia Regiment:
Encampment, Virginia, August 27th, 1861.
Dear Father and Mother:
You wrote that you heard that I was left in Staunton and was very uneasy about me. That was so, but I was only left with James to wait for a wagon to haul our knapsacks as we did not feel able to walk. We were only left about two hours behind the rest and as for sickness, I have fared good. I am as fat as I ever was for I can't button my coat around my body. I am as healthy a man as there is in our Company.
I reckon Buck has the measles and they are broken out on him as thick as they can be. The rest of our boys are well at this time, about one-half of our Company is sick with measles. There was a man died in our Regiment yesterday evening with the measles. He took cold with them. His name was Gunter, from Worth County.
Father, I heard a very nice sermon last night for the first time since I left home. He preached in our encampment.
Uncle wrote that he heard Malichi had fallen down and ruptured himself very bad. That is so. He fell down the second night we got to Huntersville and hurt himself, not very bad though. The regi- mental Doctor said he would soon get over it. He is going about but the Captain doesn't make him perform any duty at all.
Father, you wrote you would not come to see us if peace would be made in two or three months, it would be spending money for nothing. But I tell you you would see enough to pay you for all the money you would spend coming here and going back. There were two men made a bet of a five dollar pair of boots that there would be peace made in three weeks. One bet peace would be made in three weeks and the other it would not. We know nothing about it, for, we get no news only what we get from Georgia that is worth any- thing. We hear from Portsmouth some times. Some of our Company gets a letter from there every day or two and they say that they live well if living on beef and bread is living well. That is what we get and a little bacon, flour and rice, coffee and sugar.
Father, we all went a hoging Sunday and caught three, they were ground hogs. We had them to dig out of the ground and they were good to eat sure, for we cooked them.
Mother wanted to know something about the fruit. There are a few apples and they are not ripe. No peaches nor watermelons at all. I have not seen a watermelon since I left Atlanta. I can get plenty of butter by paying fifteen cents a pound for it, but I do not buy much.
Tell Wm. N. Valentine I will write to him when I get the chance.

HISTORY OF WILKINSON COUNTY
Tell Doctor and Patience to learn fast and be good children and good to their teacher.
I have nothing more at this time to write, only I remain your, Your affectionate son until death,
William J. Sanders.
Huntersville, Virginia, October 24th, 1861.
Dear Uncle:
We received a letter from the old man Dan stating that you wanted to know all about William's sickness and also his death and burial. I wrote to you the day after he was buried, if you have received the letter, and stated to you all the particulars, but as Kelly wanted to drop you a few lines, I will also write you and will give you as plain a description of his sickness and death as I possibly can.
When I got to Eddray which was two weeks and two days before he died I found him and Sergeant McArthur lying in the Captain's tent. He was then able to walk out where he pleased. He was peart and would sit up and talk and laugh with us and seemed to be very much pleased at my coming, particularly because I was going to stay with them, as there was only him, McArthur, Lieutenant Solomon, Shug Smith, Boss and Randol that was there of our Company and they were rather lonesome. He continued to be in the same state I found him in until about four or five days before he died. I then saw that he was sinking. I stayed with him and waited on him from the time I got there until he died. He never made any request nor mentioned home after he was taken so sick nor did he say anything about dying. While he was able to walk about he and I would sometimes talk about home as we frequently did when we were all together.
His mother wanted to know whether he was buried nice or not and whether he died in his tent or not and the name of the place where he was buried, also the disease he had. I will answer all these questions to the very best of my ability.
First, he was buried as nice as we could have buried any man in the army, especially at such a time as it was when he died. I walked three miles before I could find a man to make a coffin. It was made at a saw mill, I picked the plank myself and I picked good sound pine plank and had a very nice plain coffin made. We buried him in the little zouave jacket which you sent to him in the box of clothing, also the pants which were in the box and his uniform coat. He was a very nice looking corpse. It is customary to bury a soldier's blanket with him. He had no blanket for Boss had died on his and he did not want to use it any more until it was washed. I had given him my blanket to cover with the day before he died and as his was not fit to bury him in I buried him in my own. His own blanket we left hanging on a stump for it was impossible to get it washed. We buried the most of his clothes with him, his hat, cap, pocket knife, havre sack and money I put in Dossey's care and he started for home with it yesterday. He had nine dol- lars and twenty cents.
