I was just online at the lds church family history library catalogue www.familysearch.org they have a film of the records of the National Home for Disabled Soldiers 1890-1930 in Marion Indiana. The film # for the index is 1571582 US/CAN film. Once you check the index to find which volume to search, it contains info on the soldiers military history: where/when enlisted, compqny/regiment; domestic history: where born,age, residence subsequent to discharge, kind/degree of disabilty, occupation, social condition [widowed etc], address of nearest relative; soldiers home history: rate of pension, date of addmission, condition of readdmission, date & cause of death. You can go to your local family history center and order the film if they don't already have a copy (last time I checked it was $3 or 4). Hope this helps ( now I just have to get a hold of a copy myself so I can look for My elusive Lewis t.

It mentions 8 other branches besides the Danville Illinois home for veterans of the Civil War, namely the Marion Branch, Marion Indiana, established in 1888. Where was/is this home located? Where are its records housed if no longer operational? Any information or guidance would be most helpful.
