Pension files of Pleasant Sanders Monroe, original application number 1019197, member of the 13th Kentucky Cavalry, Company L. Pleasant Sanders Monroe was born April 30, 1847 and enlisted in the war at age 16. He was wounded at Burkesville, Kentucky in August of 1864. Following his death on May 30, 1913, his pension was filed on by Mont Elliot Corbin on behalf of Pleasant's orphaned children Reed Garnett Monroe, and Dorothy Ethel Monroe. Mont E. Corbin was appointed legal guardian of the minors on July 18, 1913 and filed for the accrued pension of Pleasant Sanders Monroe, as well as a minor's pension for the children that were both approved for admission on October 30, 1914. On January 10, 1918, Mont Corbin gave his resignation as the legal guardian of Reed and Ethel Monroe, and John C. Henson was appointed as such. At some point in time after this, John C. Henson began to draw the pension, up until Reed's 16th birthday in December of 1922, when the legal limit on the pension was reached. Reed and Ethel were both raised by their maternal aunt, Virginia Thomas Hubbard-Pike, who was a widow.

The original pension files of Pleasant Sanders Monroe consist of over 70 pages of documents.

Spelling has not been corrected; some punctuation has been added for clarity. All major documents have been included.

Mr. M. E. Corbin,

Dulworth, Ky.

Sir:

In the 5th instant you filed in this bureau a claim for pension in behalf of the minor children
of Pleasant S. Monroe, late of Co. L, 13th Kentucky Cavalry, which has been recorded and numbered minors' original No. 1023,377.

Upon an inspection of the paper it is found that, although it was made out on the blank form for declaration for children under the age of 16 under the provisions of the act of June 27, 1890, the words "June 27, 1890", have been erased, and the words "April 19, 1908", have been inserted, making the declaration a claim for pension under the provisions of the act of April 19, 1908.

You are advised that the act of April 19, 1908, does not grant a pension to minors of soldiers or sailoers in their own right, and, consequently, the erasures inserted, above referred to, necessarily make the declaration a claim for pension under an act which confers no benefit upon your wards.

If you desire to make application for pension for said minor children under the provisions of the act of June 27, 1890, you are at liberty to do so, using the enclosed blank declaration, which, when properly filled in, executed and filed in this bureau, will receive prompt consideration.

Further action in the matter is deferred awaiting your pleasure.

Respectfully,

GM Saltzgaber
