I am seeking the burial location of Pvt Wilburn Haskell Edwards who died while in the army of wounds received in action. The private is listed on the bronze plaque on the east side of the courthouse door in Cooke County, Gainesville, Tex. He doesn't appear in the Cooke county registry and I believe he may have been buried in Oklahoma.
1900 Census Chicksasaw Territory, Okla.
