John Barron died November 16, 1900. At the time of his death he was receiving his civil war pension. He had some difficulty getting his pension because his enlistment name was spelled BAIRON and not Barron. After his death, his widow, Mary Barron (nee McPhee) had to prove their marriage and births of their children. They were not Catholic so there wasnt a baptism record for any of them. August 10, 1903 Mary Barron remarried to Joseph Trokey. They divorced March 10, 1916. She then reapplied for John Barrons pension with a lot of difficulty she got it. It was a mess.
