As I recall, it was his father who died from the apples, after they had escaped from the union prison for the second time. George's health was ruined from the ordeal of prison, starvation and escape, winter travel on foot; the whole thing, and he died five years later. I've no idea where he was buried, but I believe it was after the war that he met Granny and married her, and Grandma Rogers was a baby when he died. (per Vasta Rogers/White)

Darling grandparents. One was Jimmy Darling. The other child was a girl, and
that is all we know. Sarah L. Clements met and married George William Elkins
when she was fifteen years old. They had three children. One little girl died
when she was about one year old. A boy lived to be about five years old before
he died. This left Mary McAda Elkins
