G. Delano of Pickaway County, Ohio states “at the time of the enlistment of the said Samuel Batey he paid to his mother said Eliza Batey twenty three dollars of the advance bounty paid him and that at another time shortly before the death of said Samuel Batey he sent her from the army the sum of thirty six dollars.” Eliza’s pension was dropped because of “information that pensioner dies 18 Nov. 1904.” There is a note from the Administrator of her estate in the file dated Circle Ville, Ohio Nov. 29, 1904: “Mrs. Eliza Batey drew a mother’s pension—certificate no 67.585--.
