Suggested edit: The anecdotal record from Larkin Wellington Keeling's direct line, from whom I directly have the story is that "our" Larkin went to join the Confederate Army at Bowling Green, KY. While there for traning (probably Camp Trousdale), he contracted the measles rampant in the camp. Recovering from that, he came down with pneumonia and died. The winter, 1862-1863, was so cold that family members were able to travel there and retrieved his remains in an open buckboard wagon. He is buried in the Green Cemetery on Green Cemetery Road. I was told the story by Larkin Wellington Keeling's great-granddaughter, Ruth Kimmons (Bass) Johnson. To date, I am aware of no CSA records otherwise verifying the anecdotal record.
