Death Certificate of Sarah Graham
Desperately Seeking Susan, Part Two
How I came to Susie's identity was interesting. The eureka moment was when I looked at the 1910 census.
Desperately Seeking Susan, Part One
The new year was still in its infancy when Susie Redmond filed for divorce.

Jesse Scott in the 1866 Alabama Census
The 1866 Alabama census was just a row of numbers counting people by age group. I wondered if it was possible to cross-reference with other records to figure out who those numbers represent.

There was a man in Alabama with the amusing name of Early Andrew Jackson Pounds, and he was married three times.
To Dedicate a Portion of That Field…
A curious thing happened to these online memorials as a result of my research.
Broken Unions, Part Three
Broken Unions, Part Three. Willis and William Scott were admitted to the hospital with typhoid fever. A third brother, Sergeant John Henry Scott, remained with their unit. All were fighting for their lives.
Broken Unions, Part Two
Rumors of secession and war spread like fire. The Union was breaking, but for William Scott and his wife, their union was stronger than ever.
