My mother, Lois Bragg Reinheimer, told me that her Grandfather, Dabney Bragg, was returning to Iowa from visiting his mother for her birthday when he fell in the Mississippi and contracted pneumonia from inhaling river water. The story in the Annals of Iowa, seems to confirm this as he was diagnosed with "winter fever' or pneumonia as it is now known, and eventually died from it.
Julia Ann Carpenter Bragg came with her first husband Dabney C. Bragg in 1842 from Knox County, Illinois. Dabney died in 1843 and is buried in an unmarked grave in Glasgow Cemetery. They had one son, Julius Dabney Bragg.
