Mahala Himes 1
- Born: Abt 1846
- Marriage (1): William H. Sackman on 29 March 1864 in , Richland County, OH 1
- Died: After 29 March 1864
Mahala married William H. Sackman, son of Henry Bertsfield Sackman and Susanna Ernsberger, on 29 March 1864 in , Richland County, OH.1 (William H. Sackman was born in 1840 in Caldwell County, MO 2 and died on 1 March 1865 in Lancaster, SC.)
 Marriage Notes:
What seems unusual about this marriage is that William apparently was single when he first enlisted in the Army in 1861. He did not marry Mahala until Mar 1864 when he must have been home on a temporary furlough. One year later he died in South Carolina at the age of 25. She promptly applied for and received his pension payments.
There are records of a marriage in 1868 in Richland County, Ohio between a Mahala Sackman and C. H. Van Thorne but I'm not sure if it was the same person but given her young age, she probably did remarry.
