      From Richard M Johnson:
      Moved to Iowa c 1852
      John D. enlisted in 36th Iowa Inf., Co. F, USA on 9 Aug 1862. He was discharged in 1864 because of bad health. By the time of the 1870 U.S. Census he had moved to Henry Co., Missouri where he received an invalid pension in 1875. His doctor advised him to travel for his health. Little good it did him as he was accidentally shot on 11 July 1877 in Burrell
      Springs, Wyoming.
      Minerva continued to live in Clinton, Missouri through the 1880 U.S. Census. She filed for a widow's pension in 1888 in Baker Co., Oregon . . . she again filed for a widow's pension in 1890, this time from South Denver, Colorado.
