HI Folks! I was doing some research for a friend and thought I would share my findings with you in case James is in your line. James served in the 63rd Company I GA INF during the Civil War and was elgible for the veterans pension that was declared in 1910. I found Lavina's application for pension in 1910! James died in June of 1871. She gave no date. She said that he was home at the end of the War in bed suffering from wounds received in Atlanta. They owned 60 acres of land in Cassville which she still owned in 1910 and was renting it out. I would imagine that he may have died of complications of his wounds. He was listed in the tax records in 1871, but he was in default in '72 His grave is probably not marked as I imagine that they were destitute if he was not able to work after he got home. The 1871 record listed 4 children under the age of 18 living at home. I imagine the 1870 census would provide more info on the kids. I also found "Vinie's" obituary in the Sept. 29, 1916 BARTOW TRIBUNE. Mrs. Vinie Freeman, an old and greatly respected woman of Bartow County and related to many prominent citizens of this section of Georgia, died Monday night at 2 o'clock at her home in Euharlee. Mrs. Freeman was the widow of James Freeman, once a highly respected citizen of the county, and was a sister of Cartersville's esteemed fellow-townsman, R. L . Griffin. She was 80 years of age and a consistent and loyal member of the Methodist Church. She is survived by five children, Mrs. Dunn, Mrs. Bright, Miss Fannie Freeman, and Jeff and Robert Freeman. Funeral services were held at Euharlee, Tuesday afternoon, attended by a host of friends, neighbors, and relatives.
