Notes for Sandifer H. HURT
In Sandifer’s daughter Elizabeth Jane’s obit she mentions that her mother died [1860] and shortly thereafter he father was killed in the Springfield, Missouri battle. There were two battles at Springfield the first was Oct 25, 1861 and the second was 8 Jan 1863. In her obit it says”Soon afterwards her mother passed away and her father was later killed in action on the battlefield at Springfield Mo.” On Ancestry from BeverlyCowing.

So I believe Sandifer Hurt died Oct 25, 1861.
