Notes for William R. Sexton
Carter Co. Ky death register for 1853 records William Sexton, age 29, married, farmer, born in Russell Co., Va, son of James & Permelia Sexton, died 1 March 1853 in Carter Co., Ky, cause of death consumption, remarks “wife glad”.
The remarks column on this annual report is hilarious. It consists almost entirely of the clerk’s smartass assessments of emotional reactions to the death, such as “lamented by her neighbors but not by her husband”. Seeing as how Fanny married William’s younger brother James Oliver only 6 months later, perhaps the clerk was right!
