Individual Details

The following Samuel H. Haden is surely Tyree's son:
Smith's Grove, Warren Co KY: List of Soldiers buried includes:
S. H. Haden, b. 24 Oct 1842 and d. 26 Oct 1926
He's probably the Samuel H. Haden listed online at Ancestry's Civil War Database [Union]:
Enlisted as Sgt 1st Class 20 Aug 1862, Co A, 33rd Infantry Regt of KY on 13 Sep 1862
Commission in Co. F, 26th Infantry Regt, KY 1 Apr 1864 [this was a consolidation of these two units]; promoted to Full Lt. 2nd Class 15 Oct 1864.
Mustered out 30 Jun 1865, Salisbury, NC
There is a pension card for Samuel H. Haden whose widow was Abbie Haden. Invalid Pension filed 26 Jul 1889 in Kansas: App #718984, Cert #624885. Widow's Pensions App 1730.029 filed KY on Feb 10 1931.

I was able to obtain copies of the pension file. He served first as a 1st Sgt, Company A, Kentucky Volunteer Infantry - a unit later consolidated into Company F, 16th Kentucky by which time he was a 2nd Lt. He enlisted 17 Aug 1862 at Bowling Green, KY, and was discharged 30 June 1864, Salisbury, NC. Samuel first applied for his invalid pension 16 Jul 1889 in Sedgwick Co, Kansas. He was then age 46 and disabled due to chronic diarrhea and malarial poisoning contracted during the war. He had been a farmer but was able to do physical labor only about half the time. His first pension was $12 a month, but various re-examinations because of increasing disability as well as changes in the pension laws, eventually increased his pension to $50 a month by 1920. In one of his applications for increase he listed his residences as Simpson County KY for two years following the war; then he lived in Warren county until October of 1870 when he moved to Kansas, near Wichita. It's interesting that the physical examinations always concurred with his complaints - his weight varied from 165 to 215 during the years he was examined. He was obviously not a well man. In 1890 and 1892, his brother William, also living in Sedgwick Co, Kansas, testified on his behalf, and said he'd lived near him all but one year since the war. In one of the documents, Samuel stated that his wife was Elizabeth Ellen Haynes and they had been married on 3 Oct 1865, Warren Co, KY, by Rev. J. G. Durham. By 1912, Samuel was again requesting a re-evaluation of his pension and he was living in Warren Co, KY, having returned there from Kansas in 1908. He stated he was born 29 Oct 1842, Platt Co, MO. He was now married to Elizabeth Abbie Haynes - he called her "Miss" Haynes, but stated her maiden name was James. [ A Haynes stepson was noted in the census.] They had married 15 Jun 1910, in Bowling Green; officated by Rev. John W. Wheeler. He stated that his former wife had died 8 Nov 1909. Samuel had no children, living or dead. He was dropped from the pension rolls because of his death on 26 Oct 1926.

Abbie, Samuel's widow applied for the final payment of his accrued pension. She was born 18 Apr 1862, Oakland, Warren Co, KY. She was first married to C. T. Haynes who died 10 Aug 1902. Haynes had never served in the Army or Navy. She also applied for his widow's pension, 10 Dec 1932, as his only surviving wife, stating she had to nurse him during the last days of his afflictions and care for him in declining health. Unfortunately, her application was denied. The law stated that she had to be married to the veteran prior to 27 Jun 1905, and of course, she was not. Also since his death had occurred some 61 years following his discharge, it was not proved that the death was due to a disability originating in the line of duty.

My observations: Although Samuel obviously suffered many digestive, stomach, and bowel problems and was apparently somewhat jaundiced, quite likely from liver damage following malaria, he managed to live a very long life. I'm sure Abbie did have to act as his caregiver in the later years. The Pension Act of 4 Mar 1913, an amendment to the Act of 11 May 1912, had stated that the widow had to be married to the pensioner prior to 27 Jun 1905 in order to be entitled to a pension after his death. I don't believe this was ever changed.
