Wiley Britton problem-6th Ks Cav

Could anyone provide me with further insight into the death of his brother James R. The AG report for James (Co'K') states he died 17 Jun 63 at Ft Blunt(ie Gibson) of chlorea. In Britton's Memoirs says died 25 or 26 Jan 63 at Fayetteville, Ark; supposedly from wound received Aug 62 at Coon Creek, MO. Since the AG is closer to an original source, I'm putting that info on top. I'm just curious if others may have info into why the discrepiency. Thank you for your assistance.
