FRANK'S FAMILY

William Riley Woodward, born in Keokuk County, Iowa October 24, 1842, was possibly named after Riley Canaday.

He was living with his parents in Keokuk County, Iowa in 1850 and in Otoe County, Nebraska in 1860. He enlisted March 1, 1863 at Falls City, Nebraska in Company L, 2nd Regiment Nebraska Cavalry Volunteers. His pension application documentation said he was stationed about twelve miles north of Sioux City on the Missouri River (Camp 9).



Wm. S. Latta, in an 1898 affidavit, said he "was the assistant surgeon in charge of the 2nd Neb. Cav. the greater part of its period of enlistment... I have forgotten [the claimant] but his statements seem true. Scurvy and dysentery (flux as he calls it) were very prevalent on account of the water's being perfectly horrible; taken from little lagoons and holes in the beds of what in wet seasons had been running streams and when stirred up, was simply an infusion of dead grass mixed with guano of wild fowls and some of it contained sufficient alkali (soda) to raise biscuit with the adddition of acid. This latter was doubtless the cause of the scurvy together with the entire want of succulent vegetables. It was claimed at the [time] we got bacon at Ft. Ranale seven years old. I do not know that to be true but the boys thought it a good joke when they gave it to the Inidian Prisoners for they said it killed them a great deal faster than our Enfield rifles did."

Also filing affidavits were S. W. Smith (living in Rosita, Custer County, Colorado in 1898).
S. W. Simmons (living in Brownville, Nemaha County, Nebraska), added that he was cook for Mess #1, and Woodard was under Dr. Hammer's care. "Woodard came in the tent to see me the reason I recolect him so well is he thought so much of my little boy then 23 months old. we staid at [camp] 13 several days he told me he was no better when we took the march again the last of July."

The Army described William as 5' 10", hazel eyes, auburn hair, and with fair complexion. His military record only states he developed scurvy, chronic diarrhea, and piles, and was mustered out Dec. 24, 1863.

He lived for a few weeks with his sister Cynthia "Annie" Munhall, and was in his father's household in the 1865 state census - Otoe County.

Dec. 6, 1866 he married Phoebe Jane Prudence (Jennie) Johnson, daughter of Hollis and Polly Humeston Johnson, at Eldora, Hardin County, Iowa. Hollis' affidavit for pension said he "had known William for five years prior to the marriage."

In the 1886 Nebraska Gazeteer he is listed as a farmer (post office Lowell) in Kearney County.
