Notes for John Logan Witherspoon

Notes taken from Grace (Witherspoon) Jones, daughter of William Henry Witherspoon:
John Logan Witherspoon had T.B. It is thought to have been caused by the lack of a decent place to live and of no decent food when he was in Andersonville Prison (during his time in the Civil War). This disease caused his death at a young age, also the deaths of his wife, Catherine, sons Wes and Clarence, and of daughter, Edna.
