From Rachel Sprouls Story - (Rachel Grace Sprouls Youngblood's Diary), Arranged and Compiled by Leah Crocker, San Antonio TX, Fotolith Corp, 1952
"John Henry came to see me when I was thirteen, or just before, and he was sixteen. We courted and went to school together for over a year, and then we were married December 12, 1861, at the home of my parents on Paradise Prairie, Wise County, Texas. A justice of the peace by the name of Pruett performed the ceremony."
pg 16 -
"John Henry kept right on working trying to get the house done but, before he got through, on the 21st of January 1870, there was another girl born. She was named Ollie Vida. She was born on Friday night and my husband took sick on Tuesday night. He was so bad that by 12:00 he was out of his right mind. We were by ourselves and I had been doing well. His sister, who had been staying with us, had gone home, not knowing how sick he was. So I got up, dressed and sat by him and did all I could for him with the assistance of the two oldest children, Jim and Molly....
He soon began to get worse and suffered dreadfully for a short time. Between midnight and day, the Death Angel visited our house for the first time. I had never known a trouble before, and that was the saddest time of my life. I was so weak, I thought I would sink, but never let anyone know how weak I felt. In my sorrow I would have washed and dressed all of my children and put them in his place if I could, for he could have comforted me. As it was they were a grief for me to look at. To think they were orphans, no one to care for them but me. Oh, how little and helpless I did feel, to think I was robbed of my dear husband and left with five little helpless children!
I sent for Brother Hughes, who came and officiated at the burial which was held late Sunday evening at the Lon Sam Davis Cemetery. When I had to leave him there, oh how hard to take my little ones and leave him! (Died January 30, 1870, Buried January 31, 1870)."
[NOTE - Some family stories are that he fell from a ladder, but there is no mention in the book how he became ill, the mortality census stated he died of brain inflammation.]
