After the Civil War the government opened 10 homes for disabled veyterans. Four were opened by 1870 i.e., Togus Maine, Milwaukee Wisconsin, Dayton Ohio and Hampton Virginia. I have someone who has soldiers listing for Dayton Ohio. Does anyone know where I can find listings for the other three cities? Roy Stout

On March 1, 1865, Senator Henry Wilson, chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs and the Militia, introduced what he called "a little bill to which there can be no objection." Wilson's bill to "incorporate a National Military and Naval Asylum for the relief of the totally disabled officers and men of the volunteer forces of the United States," passed on March 3, 1865, with no debate. The legislation incorporated the National Asylum for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers and created homes in (in addition to your list) Hampton, Virginia; Leavenworth, Kansas; Sawtelle, California (near Los Angeles); Marion, Indiana; Danville, Illinois; Johnson City, Tennessee; the Battle Mountain Sanitarium at Hot Springs, South Dakota; Bath, New York; Roseburg, Oregon; St. Petersburg, Florida; Biloxi, Mississippi; and Tuskegee, Alabama Alice Gayley ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roy Stout" <ldstout@bellsouth.net> To: <CIVIL-WAR@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 6:54 AM Subject: [CIVIL-WAR] SOLDIERS HOMES > After the Civil War the government opened 10 homes for disabled veyterans. > Four were opened by 1870 i.e., Togus Maine, Milwaukee Wisconsin, Dayton > Ohio and Hampton Virginia.
