Too Bad There Is No Letter from Esther Cadman: More Questions

I would definitely like to have seen the letter that Georg. R. Gear was replying to in the previous blog entry.  When did George Cadman die?  How did he die?

With the locating of Cadman's grave, was Esther planning on bringing the body home for burial?

I also am not sure what was meant by her "double sore bereavement"?  Had she also lost another relative, perhaps a son since George Hovey was born in 1823 and would have been 41 at his death.  Perhaps there was a son also killed?

Always Questions.  --Old Secesh
