Letters from Samuel O. Smith to his brother Gideon Wilson Smith (1833-1913), Lansing, Allamakee, Iowa
Office of Halliday Brothers
Cairo, Ills. Nov. 12th 1862
Mr. G.W. Smith
Dear Brother:
I am well at present and the Reg't are in tolerable good health. It is 365 from Chicago to Cairo. We were 31 hours running it being on a special train we had to wait at the different stations to let the regular trains pass. Cairo is a very bleak looking town. The river is full of boats. Among the rest are several iron clad Steamers that look like war. I cannot tell how long we shall remain here but probably not very long. The other four companies are here. We have pitched our tents -- a great many troops are leaving here for Memphis where we will perhaps go.
Yours in haste,
Sam'l O. Smith

Aboard the Steamer Lebanon on White river 1 mile from Duvalls Bluffs
Sept. 16th 1863
Dear Brother:
I left Memphis on the morning of the 7th arrived in Helena same evening; waited there for a boat until the morning of the eleventh, got aboard the Lebanon bound for Duvalls Bluffs on White river, arrived at the mouth of White river same evening. As no boats dare venture up the river without a convoy, we were obliged to wait until Sunday 13th for a Gunboat to escort us up the river, we have progressed slowly but safely so far. We came about one hundred miles up the river without seeing a sign of civilization except an old deserted log cabin. We are now stuck on a sand bar. The country all along this river is a dense forest, no sign of cultivation or civilization, except a few old villages of log cabins. We saw but one white man (citizen) on the river, but the women at these old towns came down to the bank and begged for medicine and newspapers. We are off the sand bar and going ahead again. As it is time for the cooks to set the table for dinner, I will quit and close my letter after we land. We get board on the boat for $1.00 per day.
5 o'clock p.m. Duvalls Bluff Ark. Little Rock is in the hands of the Federals. They took it on the 10th Inst. The 27th Reg't is in the City, which is fifty four miles from here.
I have had strong symptoms of the ague during the last two days but I can get transportation in an ambulance for Little Rock tomorrow morning.
Yours affectionately,
S.O. Smith

Declaration accepted as a widow's claim under Act of May 1, 1920,
H. P. Willey, Chief, Law Division.
H. R. 9978, Elizabeth M. Adrian, aged 61 years, whose post-office address is R.F.D. No. 1, Box 101, Racine, Wis., is the widow of Michael Adrian, late a private, Company D., Twenty-seventh Regiment Iowa Infantry, from August 14, 1862, to August 8, 1865, who was a pensioner under certificate No. 542590, at the rate of $50 per month and who died January 29, 1923.
He and this claimant were married January 11, 1888. She has been denied pension as the soldier's widow on the ground that she cannot be accepted as his legal widow under existing laws, for the reason the soldier had a living undivorced wife at the time that he and this claimant contracted marriage. Soldier's first wife secured a divorce from him November 19, 1901.
From the date of their marriage the soldier and claimant lived and cohabited as husband and wife and were recognized as such for a period of 35 years. She bore him seven children. Under the circumstances your committee is disposed to give her a pensionable status.
Medical evidence shows she requires the aid and attendance of another person by reason of myocarditis and senility. She has no property and no income. No one is legally bound to her support. It is recommended her name be placed on the pension roll at the rate of $30 a month.
