In Wiley Sword's 'Confederate Invincibility' he talks of Sarah Morgan learning of her brother's death at Johnson's Island:
'Yet her sorrow deepened when she learned how he had died. Sick in the hospital for more than a week with a severe headache and sore throat, Gibbes had just seen the doctor, and was talking pleasantly with his fellow patients. Then "he sat up to reach his cup of water on the table. As soon as he drank it he seemed to suffocate. After tossing his arms wildly in the air, and making several fearful efforts to breathe, he died." He had "fought with the bravest of the brave through more than thirty battles," noted Sarah, only "to die a prisoner in a strange land," and never again to see his wife.'
