Surgeon by the Confederate Secretary of War or of his being confirmed as an Asst. Surgeon by the Confederate States Senate. This is not unusual as Confederate records are very incomplete. Note: An obituary in The News, Frederick, MD, on April 2, 1910, states that Dr. Wooten died "yesterday." However, his Monocacy Cemetery interment record has his burial as being March 31, 1910. Clearly, one of the two sources is in error. Thanks to Glen Wallace for discovering this discrepancy.

Obituary Baltimore Sun - April 1, 1910 Dr. Edward Wootton, 70 years old, for many years a leading physician of Montgomery county, died about 9 o'clock this morning at his home at Poolesville of pneumonia. He was ill only two days. He suffered a stroke of paralysis about three years ago and had a number of strokes after that, having been confined to his home for the past year. Dr. Wootton was a graduate of Georgetown College, where he studied medicine. He afterward attended the University of Maryland in Baltimore and then returned to Poolesville, where he had since lived. About 10 years ago his health failed and he had to relinquish his practice. He served through the Civil War as surgeon in Col. E. V. White's battalion of Confederate Cavalry. He was a staunch Democrat of this county and from 1889 until 1893 represented the county in the State Senate, but was defeated for renomination by H. W. Talbott. He also served two terms in the House of Delegates. Besides his widow, who before her marriage was Miss O'Rhea, of Fauquier county, Virginia, he is survived by the following children— Messrs. Norman, Roland and Albert Wootton and Mrs. Thomas F. Chiswell, all of this county, and Dr. Turner and Hartley Wootton, of Hot Springs, Ark. Dr. Wootton was born near Rockville and was the son of the late Dr. Turner Wootton, a prominent physician. The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
