He had died in the summer and had asked before his death that his remains be returned to some state in the northern part of the United States but this was never done. His remains were later dug up by grave robbers and the bones were scattered; at the instigation of Mrs. Lurane Fidelia Stribling, widow of J. C. Stribling, the remains were gathered together again and reburied in the stone crypt at the edge of the same field where he had been originally buried. Dr. G. G. Hill had married Georgia Sawyer, as sister of Mrs. Sophia Appell,wife of Captain P. F. Appell
