Silvia Carr

Silvia Carr (maiden name: Gray) married Eli Carr sometime after the war. The two lived in Elk Fork, Pettis County, Missouri. They had four children: Susie, born May 3, 1872; Elizabeth; Millie; and Silas. Silvia passed away only months after her husband. Both died in 1875, likely in Elk Fork. Later, in the 1890s, their daughter unsuccessfully applied for a pension and any wartime pay or bounty still in arrears from her father's wartime service.
