Martha J. Baker...11-wf...VAService Record: At age 34, joined the company on its original organization at Glen Easton July 2, 1863 to serve for 6 months; mustered in at Parkersburg Aug. 13, 1863. “Died at Parkersburg General Hospital of Typhoid Dysentery Sept. 15, 1863.” “Born in Marshall County, West Va.”
Widow, Mary Cunningham Terrill, of Glen Easton, filed for a government pension, which was granted and commenced Sept. 15, 1863. They had one child, Martha Ellen, who was under the age of 16 at the time of his death. She stated she had married Daniel Terrill, a farmer, at Limestone, W.Va. on Jan. 3, 1856. The marriage document indicated that she was 20 and her husband 26; both parties were born in Marshall County and resided there. His parents were Amos and Matilda Terrill, and hers were Levi and Sophiah Cunningham.
The widow married Joel M. Custer Sept. 15, 1864, and they lived in Missouri. Following Mr. Custer’s death, she proceeded to apply for reinstatement of her government pension. Her application was rejected because she owned property, which she rented out, and her net income was greater than the law allowed for a renewed pension. She died in 1919 in Kansas City, Missouri.
