<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>

Union Veterans of the Civil War (DUV), Tent #2, South Willamette Valley.
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.

<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 wrote:
