Co. F, 11th Kan Cav
Obit of Mar 6th, 1924 ( from the Osage County HS) - have a copy - does not give the name of the paper.
"BILLY" COZINE DEAD
Under date of February 28th, 1924, Col. W.W. Denison writes us from his home in Topeka as follows: " I received a letter this morning from John H. Crumb, late of Co. I, 11th Kansas cavalry, now at the National Military Home, informing me of the death of Comrade William A. Cozine, who died at the Home of February 19th, and his remains were shipped to Iola, Kansas for burial.
You probably have heard of it before this, but for fear you have not I drop you this line. You will remember that Mr. Cozine as sheriff of Osage county, hung Bates, the murderer of Abel Polley, in the court house then located in Burlingame. The event took place this time of the year in 1866, or possibly in 1867, and is said to be the only legal hanging ever made in our state. The death of W. A. Cozine leaves J.H. Crumb and myself the only living persons who left Burlingame on that memorable morning, about September 10th, 1862. We were mustered into the service at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, September 5th, 1862 and mustered
out September 26th, 1865.
