1906 Widows Pension Application. 4-30-1906 Floyd Co., VA by her mark X Deborah C. Smith.

(in part) Deborah C.

Husband paralysis of the left side died July 25, 1905. She was his lawful wife up until his death & has not remarried, now claims she is entitled to the sum of $25.00 annually.

She was 72 yo at time of last birthday Dec 24, 1905. Born & has lived in Floyd Co., VA all of her life. Eli Smith was husband’s full name. Married Dec 23, 1858 Floyd Co., VA by Elder Michael Howery. Husband d. July 25, 1905 Gage, VA of paralysis of the left side. Dr. J. M. Harman of Floyd, VA was the attending physician. Land & property have an assessed value of $298. Receives very little assistance – total income for 1905 = $65.

She gave names of 2 of husband’s comrades: Elder J. T. Turner of High Peak, Franklin Co., VA; John Harter, Box #10, RFD #6, Floyd Co., VA.  

She also gave names of 2 persons who are familiar with his death: B. R. Hall, Gage, VA. & T. A. Weeks, R.F. D. #2, Floyd, VA.

She feels his war wounds “more or less” to aid in introducing the disease that killed him.

She described his wounds: “His left heal was pierced by a bullet shivering his heel bone. He suffered pain in heel & left leg considerably to the time he died. He was blind nearly __ ___ before he died. His left eye became blind first. His stroke of paralysis was in the left side. He fought at Chickamauga. P. Saca & other battles I think  his death was caused in part at least.” Asa D. Shortt R.F.D. #1, Floyd is knowledgeable on husband’s service & cause of death.
