1890 VETERAN SCHEDULE
Often confused with the 1890 census, and more
often overlooked or misjudged as useless, are nearly 75,000 special
1890 schedules enumerating Union veterans and widows of Union
veterans.
The U.S. Pension Office requested this special enumeration to help
Union veterans locate comrades to testify in pension claims and to
determine the number of survivors and widows for pension legislation.
(Some congressmen also thought it scientifically useful to know the
effect of various types of military service upon veterans' longevity.)
To assist in the enumeration, the Pension Office prepared a list of
veterans' names and addresses from their files and from available
military records held by the U.S. War Department.
