Atlanta Constitution, 18 February 1882
Death of a Veteran of the Mexican War.

Hawkinsville Dispatch.
Captain William Kaigler, formerly of Dooly county, died at Andersonville, in 
Sumter county, on Friday last.  Captain Kaigler was a survivor of the war 
between the United States and Mexico, and was one of the unfortunate command 
(Colonel Fanning's [sic] regiment, we believe) captured in 1837 while fighting 
for the independence fof Texas  We have been told that he was one of the very 
few, after the "drawing of the beans," escaping with his life.  It was his luck 
to draw a white bean twice.  He resided in Dooly county for many years, but 
some time ago moved to Andersonville, where, as stated, his death occurred on 
Friday last.
