Richmond [Virginia] Enquirer, September 18, 1855, Page2
DIED, at Pine Bluff, Caldwell Parish, La., on the 28th August, WILLIAM E. 
TANNER,aged about 45 years. - Mr. Tanner was a native of Buckingham County, 
Va., but many years since removed to the State of Alabama, whence he 
emigrated, in the year 1849, to Jackson Parish, La., where he continued to 
reside up to the time of his death.  he was on his return home from a 
somewhat protracted visit to his friends in Virginia and Alabama, and had 
reached Pine Bluff, on the Ouachita River, within thirty miles of his 
residence, when both he and his estimable wife were attacked by yellow 
fever, contracted, no doubt, in passing through New Orleans.  he survived 
the attack five days and died; she, we are happy to say, is convalescent.  
The numerous friends of the deceased in Virginia may rest assured that all 
that the best medical skill and the assiduous attention of friends could do, 
was cheerfully and unremittingly rendered.  he leaves a large number of warm 
and devoted friends in the Parish of his residence, in which he was, at the 
time of his death, the candidate of his party for the office of Sheriff, 
with the most flattering prospect of a triumphant election.  Peace to his 
ashes!                           H.
