(pg. 302) with a "List of the National Guard & Reserved Militia of the 4th District, St. Mary’s Co. 1867.He is listed as "Unkle Wm. F.255'5" Millwright"

St. Mary's Beacon March 28, 1901-"In Memoriam-In chronicling the death of William F. Unkle, which occurred on the 21st of February, 1901, in his 58th year, the writer has no intention of depicting "not what he was, but what he should have been," for he was mortal and had his faults. Who has not? The greatest of which, if indeed not his only one, was his "love of the bowl."
But if he had his vices, he had his virtues also. He was a hard working industrious man, a good neighbor-would disoblige himself to accommodate a friend, a good mechanic, machinist, wheelwright and blacksmith. His was a busy life and he will be missed. His was a busy life and he will be missed. He has gone to his regard and we will trust and pray, that before a merciful God his virtues may outweigh his faults.
The cause of his death is not known and probably never will be. He had been indulging rather freely during the evening, but not more so than on many previous occasions and we can hardly think that if it was the remote, it was not the immediate cause of his death; for he was able to go from the store to Mr. Merediths' saw mill, replenish the fire in the engine from time to time, as was noted late in the night. It is probable that sometime after midnight-in the early morning hours-he fell asleep, and the fire going down, the extreme cold weather, or a stroke of paralysis rendered him, upon awaking, unable to rise and caused him so to remain until found the next morning.
The writer saw him a few moments after life was pronounced extinct by the doctor, and his wrists', face and body were warm, which would seem to preclude the probability of death by cold. However that may be, he now rests from his labors. He leaves a sick wife, four sons and two daughters to lament his loss."
