There are three different spellings of Stokey here: Stokey, Stoky, and Stokly. The difficulty with the name is very familiar to me, but always perplexing. It's a six-letter name, with no odd consonant or vowel groupings. Why do people have such trouble with it?

This is one of many documents that Barbara received when she requested Papa Charles's Civil War documents from the government. You can find links to all the documents that I've uploaded so far in:

Charles F. Stoky
I don't know if this was a mistake on somebody's part or not. The family apparently spelled the name Stoky - no e - for a while, and maybe young Charles was on the fence on the matter, or maybe the official who recorded his enrolment on March 4, 1865, was a local man who was acquainted with the family. See:

Febris Intermitt: Oct 9/65,
Febris Remitt: as Chas. F. Stoky +c, Oct. 9 to Nov. 7/65,
Febris Intermitt: Intermittent fever.
Febris Remitt: Returning fever.
4.
Acute Dysentery, ret'd to duty.
I doubt that this was the beginning of the gastrointestinal troubles that Papa Charles complained of in his application for a disability pension. My impression is that he had no noticeable problems between 1865 and the 1890s. But I may be wrong on this; it may be that there were problems all along that nobody talked about because why would anybody want to talk about diarrhea? Alternatively, maybe some bug lay dormant in Papa Charles's innards waiting for the right moment to stage a comeback.
