It is still in operation for the elderly people who can still take care of themselves. I think I saw something somewhere that it was once a soldiers hospital. Hope this helps you.

The spelling of the name is odd but I think it is the same man. If so, I think he is my great great grandfather and his son would have been my grandfathers brother. My grandfather was charles timmons and my father was frank timmons. We were also related to the white family in star city. Martha white was my grandmothers sister. I can find very little on ezekiel or charlie timmons. If you know of any information on these guys I would like to hear from you. Jack

I just talked to her. She said there was a working farm that was turned into an old folks home that was also refered to as "The Soldiers Home". She said it was located before you come to RT119 into Winamac. She remembers going there to visit an elderly uncle. She said it was located in Pulaski County. She cannot remember the name of the orginal farm. Hope this helps. Lucinda LeBel Tallahassee, FL

Yes, Jerry, there is a soldiers home. Only now, it is officially the "Indiana Veterans' Home". You can find the articles of the Indiana Code governing it's operation here: http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title10/ar6/ch1.pdf Notice in particular: "Except in cases where the surviving spouse of a veteran shall marry another veteran, the benefits of this chapter shall extend only to surviving spouses and spouses of veterans when the contract of marriage was entered into more than five (5) years prior to the date of death of the veteran." A cousin of mine resided there for a few years before his death in 1970. He was a WWI veteran. (I only discovered this 2 months ago). I have a copy of his probate records, and it is recorded that his estate was short of funds to cover his final bill at the facility, so apparently residence was not offered free to veterans, but indeed incurred an expense by the veteran to reside there. It isn't clear from the probate records how the shortage was covered, but I presume it was by the general fund of the facility. An interesting note about this probate record, for other researchers... even though he died in the Indiana Veterans' Home in Tippecanoe County, this was deemed a "temporary residence" and so his probate records were filed in Marion County, where he was from.

I know that he was born in Ireland. I think he emigrated around 1850. He lived in Ohio in 1854 when eldest child was born and moved to Pulaski CO. Indiana by 1857 when next child was born. He eventually moved to Chicago. Just a stab in the dark but who was your John married to? I have correspondence in my file from about 10 yars ago with a guy who had an ancestor named John O'Connor (b. 1813) married to an Ellen Sutherland (b. 1821). They lived in NY, Findley Ohio, and then Racine Wisc.

I believe you will find that you may be related to a different Riggs group that may or may not be related to the Ancestor Edward Riggs. A good starting place will be for you to check the Riggs genealogy book written in 1901 by John Wallace. If you can take your family back to that time period you will know which Riggs group you belong. I am Researching Ransom (Johnson Co., IN) Samuel (Pulaski Co., IN and Joseph (Pulaski Co., IN). Good Luck

Hi Michael, Why would husbands and wives go to the Soldier's Home? Are the buildings still there and in use? That is something that the photographs did not tell me. So many of the soldiers in the home near us are still suffering from shell shock. What a sad thing--war--hope we aren't getting ourselves into another one.
