Received a letter this date, 20 Mar 1992, from Earl M. Rice, 4685 N.W. 53
Ct., Des Moines, Ia. 50310. He writes that he is retired at 62 years of age
and has been doing research on his family for a year and a half. He had heard of our work thru the Genealogical Society at Des Moines and found a notice of marriage of his grandparents, Joseph and Bethia Bailes Hiatt, Jan 19, 1830 in Henry Co., Ind., in our newsletters.
He drew a Civil War pension of $70 per month for a disability. He suffered from a loss of voice, could not talk above a whisper due to something he aquired in the service. I have to sit down and read in more depth the papers, something that is not easy since they are all hand written.
James M. was a Quaker Preacher and was very strict.
