Married Samuel Lamar White 15 Jun 1866 • Rossville, Vermilion, Illinois, USA. He was honorably discharged from the Army in 1864 after suffering permanent injury to his eyes. It took 20 years to process his application for veterans' benefits due to various bureaucratic problems. Samuel began receiving benefits of $17/month in 1906. When he died in 1909, Mary started receiving a benefit of $12/month.
Mary died in the Soldiers' Widows' home in Wilmington, Illinois.
Her year of death is 1915, although her headstone reads 1914. I believe that the records of the Widows' home were not accurate.
