March 8, 1866: William L. Smith married Amanda Campbell Judy in Richland County, IL – probably near Claremont or German Twp. They were married by minister William Inskeep a MP (Methodist Protestant) minister. William was the older brother of Julia Inskeep Judy, step mother of Amanda. William Inskeep lived in Richland County, IL from the fall of 1860 to 1869.
March 18, 1879: William L. Smith died at the age of 37, 11 mo, 12 days, 2 miles east of Claremont, Claremont Twp, Richland, IL. Buried: Antioch Cemetery, Richland County, IL; Claremont Twp, 9 mi east of Olney. Dr. Zeba D. French of Sumner, Lawrence Co, IL in June 2, 1888, said William was a good soldier. Always ready for duty when he able. Dr. Zeba D. French said "I knew him and lived in the same neighborhood until his death. I treated him in his last illness and was present when he died. He died of pneumonia on March 18, 1879 - His general debility existing for years – ever since 1866 – had much to do in predisposing to pneumonia and lessoning his ability to withstand its effects." Dr. French was assistant surgeon in the 11th Missouri Regiment and first knew William during the years 1862 – 1863 and until Aug 4th, 1864. He next knew William in private life and treated him in 1866, but failed to keep record of the nature of the illness. He noted William's general health was not good – not vigorous – after his return from the army. Dr. A. Q. Baird living in Sumner, Lawrence Co, IL on January 26, 1889 stated that he treated William "in his last sickness in February or March of 1789 and that he died of Pneumony?? apparently of the chronic type that he found William very much emaciated with general debility from the history of the case I believe that he died from the effects of disease contracted while in the US Army." Dr. N. B. Allen, MD of Olney, IL in Mar 19, 1890, wrote that he treated William in 1877 and 1878 for chronic cough and was acquainted with him for about 13 years, but did not know him before his enlistment. Dr. Allen didn't treat him in his last illness, but was satisfied he died of "Phthisis Pulmonalis". "I remember him as a sober industrious man" (sober industrious may be something else – hard to decipher.)
