Default 1865, a time to rest and begin anew.
August 1, 1865

The 10th TN Cavalry mustered out of service. The war for James Patterson Cockerham was finally over. He was headed for Wilkes County, North Carolina and a reunion with his large family. That family was to grow larger as he and Amelia took it as a personal challenge to replenish the population of the south. They died in 1920 and 1922 respectively and are buried in Mitchell County, Iowa.

A poignant ending (or is it) to this saga.

Congratulations.
