No. 602734, Pensioner Mary Ellen Justice, Widow of Veteran Thomas W. Justice, can no. 50798, bundle no. 9"; photocopy received on 27 March 2007. Deposition A Case of Ellen Justice, No. 547,995 On this 14th day of June, 1905, at Valencia, County of Shawnee State of Kansas, before me, B.A. Kingsley a special examiner of the Bureau of Pensions, personally appeared Ellen Justice, who, being by me first duly sworn to answer truly all interrogatories propounded to her during this special examination of aforesaid claim for pension, deposes and says: I am 64 year of age; my post-office address is Valencia, Shawnee Co. Kansas, I have no particular vo- cation. I live with my daughter and help her do the housework. I am the Ellen Justice who is an applicant for pension as the widow of Thomas W. Justice who was a soldier in the U.S. Vol. service, but I do not remember the Co. & Regt. I don't remember how I found out his Co. & Regt. when I made my application, My brother Walter A. Yount perhaps will know as he had charge of the matter at the time. My full name is Mary Ellen Justice but I dropped the Mary a good many years ago and always sign my name Ellen Justice. My maiden hame was Mary Ellen Yount and I was always called Ellen or Nell, and the name Mary was seldom used at all. My first and only marriage was to Thomas W. Justice, the soldier at Topeka, Kans. in Jany 1867, the 22nd, by Rev. John Thompson now dead who was a Baptist minister. The license to marry was procured form the Probate Judge in Topeka. I am sure I was married to the soldier on Jany. 22nd 1867. I had not been married before that time, As far as I know the soldier had never been married before his marriage to me at said time and place. He was something like 30 years old when we were married. I first met the soldier at my house near Topeka, Kans. where he come [sic] to work, and I knew him several months before we were married. He worked at my fathers several months and until we were married. I understood that he was dis- chared from the service at Rock Island, Ills. at the close of the war. I don't remember where he said he said he was between his discharge and the time he come [sic] to my father's to work on the farm. The soldier and I lived together as man and wife two years. The first year we lived on E.G. Moons farm on Mission Creek. and the second year on Mr. Bursows place near here. We then went to my fathers and soldier said he was going to look for a farm and said he had an uncle near Leaven worth, Kans. and he would go there and would come and get me. I don't think he went there but went direct south from here, and in a few weeks he wrote me that if I would come down there and live he would send me money to to come on. I forget what place he wrote from but it was some place in Miss. That had been his home an[d] he wrote me that his mother was living there and I think he said his father was dead, and he preferred to live down there. There had been no particular disagreement between us before he left though he was a very high tempered man and hard to suit. I wrote hem that I didn't care to go down there to live and never heard from him again until in someway I heard that he was dead. That was about the time I made my first application for pension Through corresponding with his brother R.R. Justice we learned that soldier had died down there some years before that. I don't beleive I can tell the brothers address but I think it was Canton, Miss. I do not remember what was said to be the cause of his death. I never saw him after he left me about Jany, 1869. and never heard from him but the once. I recall now that he left me here Dec. 31st 1868. We had two children: Cora M. Justice, now VanBuskirk (Nelson VanBuskirk) of Glendale, Ariz. and Jesse F. now Fritz (Frank Fritz) near this place and with whom I live. I have never sought, applied for nor got a divorce from said soldier and have not remarried or resumed marriage relations since he left me. I never received a notice of any pending suit or applica- tion for divorce and never had any direct or indirect information that he had secured a divorce from me, when we were prosecuting this claim, (my brother did the writing.) We learned that he had married again down in Miss. I learned none of the particularsw and don't remember where he was married or who he married. I am positive that he left me Dec. 31, 1868. because I remember the date. and my youngest child was born about five weeks after he left me, and I know that he wrote me to come down to Miss. before that child was born. I don't know much about him or his history before he come to our house. I understood tha[t] he was raised in Miss. somewhere but don't know the place. I under- stood, also, that he had served in the confederate army and was captured and brought to Rock Island, Ills. and there enlisted in the U.S. service I can't tell where he lived in Miss. before he enlisted inthe confederate army. I cannot swear that he ever told me directly that he had never been married before we were married but he passed as a single man here and I certainly understood that he was not married and had not been married before our marriage. I don't know that name or address of any of his relation except R.R. Justice, his brother, of Canton, Miss. and his sister Mrs. Wynn. I don't know anyone who knew him before the war. I think he come to my fathers home to work about July, 1866 and I don't know the whereabouts of a person who knew him from the time he was discharged until he come to our place. He had an uncle, Thomas Wilder, in Platte Co., Mo, near Leavenworth Kans. but I suppose he is dead long ago. I cannot recall where he said he had lived after his discharge, I have no real estate or personal property of any kind and have no investments of any nature and no source of income whatever. I can prove that I was not mar- ried before my marriage to the soldier, that i have not been divorced from him that I was not married after his death, nor after he left me, and that I am dependent and have been since I filed my first claim, by mu brother Walter A. Yount of this place. L.T. Yount of Independence Mo. and Frank A Yount #511 Nevada Ave, Colorado Springs, Colorado. The people who were our neighbors prior to my marriage have died an [sic] scattered and I don't know where they are I can prove that I am wholly and totally dependent and have been since this claim was filed by almost every neighbor in the community. I have absolutely nothing. Notwithstanding the record that you show me, says I was married Dec. 22, 1866. I am still convinced I was married Jany 22, 1867. Rev. Thompson was old and probably made a mistake. I understand this depo- sition and it has been correctly recorded. Mary Ellen Justice |
