WILLIAM AND ESTER CAUDLE SHOWN IN THE PLEASANT HILL CHRISTIAN CHURCH MINUTES AS "BY CONF. AND REMOVED." NO DATE OR REASON GIVEN. THE DATE IS SOMETIME BETWEEN 1843 AND 1871 THOUGH; PROBABLY, NEARER TO 1870 BECAUSE THE CHURCH WAS REORGANIZED JANUARY 1871 AFTER WILLIAM'S AND ESTER'S NAMES WERE SHOWN. THERE WAS AN OUTBREAK OF DIPTHERIA OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THE EIGHTIES OR NINETIES IN HAMILTON COUNTY, ILLINOIS THAT MAY HAVE TAKEN THE LIVES OF WILLIAM CAUDLE'S KIDS. I HAVE NOT FOUND A RECORD OF WILLIAM JAMES CAUDLE'S SERVICE IN THE CIVIL WAR. HOWEVER, LEO HARDIN CAUDLE SAID THAT FOUR OF THE CAUDLE BOYS LEFT TO SERVE IN THE WAR AND NEVER RETURNED. I HAVE NOT CHECKED CONFEDERATE RECORDS BUT I HAVE CHECKED ILLINOIS RECORDS. THE ONLY CAUDLE BOYS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN OLD ENOUGH WAS WILLIAM, JOHN, MODE, AND ZACK. I HAVE FOUND MILITARY RECORDS OF SERVICE FOR JOHN, MODE, AND ZACK. MCLEANSBORO, HAMILTON COUNTY, ILLINOIS PROPERTY RECORD BOOK U PAGE 630 WILLIAM J.
