There were sworn statements in his pension file by Ruth Ann Kibler of Clark County, Illinois and William Crouch of Harvey County, Kansas saying they had grown up with Charles and Mary, knew them before they married, and were present at their marriage.

Charles applied for Invalid Pension 14 Sep 1891 in Dunklin County, Missouri. On 2 Nov 1891 Charles filled out another requested Affidavit in Mississippi County, Arkansas.

The earliest postal stamp (Hornersville) is 2 Oct 1922. Pensions are paid out on the 1st so death date is about 20 Sep 1922.
