<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I was at the book store before it became a feed store in Stayton, there was a green book about 1 inch thick and 10x12 in size with regular type print.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> It was an old soldiers book, price 95. dollars, I saw in there, Henry Rogers died in an old soldiers home in CA and was moved to Oregon. This is what? About 10 or so years ago, before I could find the money to get that book that store had closed and those books were gone. I was wondering, just where if even that was my Henry said 1903, was that old soldiers home? Might just have been a residence providing these old people hospice or what and where and who all those w words.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> I was also wondering, is there a guy version of DUV?</FONT></DIV>

I emailed our Tent President, Carolyn Hall, for some info and turns out she knows you--you helped her with our webpage. I recognized our DUV wreath from the picture on find-a-grave. She verified it is CO F. Darleen provided good info in her post about the government-provided memorial stones. Sons of Union Veterans has an active project to seek out un-recognized CW vets--ones that do not have a headstone. I think this national project started in 1996. There might be info in his CW records about the headstone. My great grandfather, a CW vet, died in 1916, buried in Albany, and does not have a government marker--just GAR on the stone provided by his family, so I couldn't check to see if it was
mentioned. Linda Wiley, Sublimity, OR<BR></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Sue is correct. It is a Civil War military grave stone, and reads CO. F, 44 WIS. INF<BR><BR>I don't know what you have on Henry Rogers other than what is posted on your web site, but here is what I have found:<BR>From Ancestry.com --<BR>Henry Rogers, resident of St Lawrence, Wisconsin enlisted in the Union army on 15 Oct 1864. Rank at enlistment was Corporal, state served Wisconsin. He enlisted in Company F, Wisconsin 44th Infantry Regiment, was mustered out on 03 Jun 1865, died in Lane County, OR. (Another record, not so complete, says rank in & rank out were both private). <BR><BR>The grave marker was (apparently) provided by the Federal Government. It is the same as many in the Jacksonville Cemetery that I photographed, and then researched the individuals. There is a record on Ancestry that lists headsones provided for deceased Union Civil War veterans, including the company that made the
marker, but it only includes the years 1879-1903. Since your ancestor died (according to the Find A Grave record) in 1904, he would have missed the years covered by the Ancestry record. In your note on your web site, you state that the 1905 Springfield census lists Elizabeth as a widow, so death date of 1904 is probably correct. The record posted on Ancestry is from the National Archives, so you might be able to learn more information there.<BR><BR>Also from Ancestry, from the National Archives: On August 4 (could be 21 -- hard to read), 1890, Henry Rogers filed for invalid's pension (Application No. 932645, Certiricate 673293) in Minnesota. Service was F. 44. Wis. Inf. On Sep 6, 1904 Elizabeth M Rogers filed for widow's pension (Application No. 813103, Certificate No. 583574) in Oregon.<BR><BR>Hope this gives you some answers (?), and further sources to contact.<BR>Darlene<BR><BR>On 1/20/2012 8:47 AM, Sue Steward
