Posted on: Lincoln Co. Ks Pensions Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ks/LincolnPens/10002 Surname: Smith ------------------------- I am searching for John M. Smith, born Pa 1840, moved to Illinois, married, 4 children born, joined G Co 105th Illinois Infantry Regiment, promoted Captain, had gsw to body, moved to Kansas, settled in Pottersburgh, Grant twp, Lincoln County, between l873 and 1879, son, John M Junior born 1879, and daughter, Jennie born 1884. Filed for Civil War pension from Kansas. Believe wife's name, Susan S.,born Illinois 1842, was a school teacher, was mention in "HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN LINCOLN COUNTY 1870-1892". Last mention of either in l892. John Smith found in Jefferson, Okla, near daughter, Ida Smith Myers, He died 12-13-1917, No death certificate or burial in Oklahoma. Could there have been a medical facility in Kansas to care for civil war veterans at that time?
