He later died there in 1861 and was buried in the Lexington Cemetery. Sallie died... in April of 1865... on a return voyage from New Orleans on the steamboat Sultana. Dudley Mitchum Woolfolk and Sallie Bowman Woolfolk were first cousins, and although they never had any children, their portraits were handed down through the family.
