This from Mrs. Mabel Mull:
Thought that her grandfather, W. H. H. Whitney, was conscripted into the Confederate Army on his 21st birthday. He was wounded in the back of his leg when retreating, and left lying on one side of a haystack. Unknown to him until later, a cousin of his lay injured on the opposite side of that haystack. (Mrs. Mull does not know the identity of the cousin.
W. H. H. afterward lived in Chicago; he moved from there to Arkansas, then to Douglas County, Kansas when Mrs. Mull's mother (Sarah "Sadie" Whitney" was 19 years old. The 1895 census shows S. Whitney as age 21, so perhaps they came to Kansas in 1893. That census does not list a wife, so probably she was deceased.
