MY MOM DARLENE










EXTRACTED FROM AN E-MAIL SENT TO ME BY "DDUBAY"


Thank you for the email address. After William died in Lansing in 1878, his wife, Betsy, and her minor children moved to Sac City. In Lansing, William had run into a horrible snafu over his Veteran's Pension and the family became quite destitute when he became too ill to work. (He'd been severely injured at the Battle of Nashville during the Civil War and was ill after he came home until he died). After he died, Betsy moved to Sac City with her 3 minor children -- at age 11, James had had to hire out as a field hand to help support the family because Betsy ran into the same snafu when she applied for a widow's pension. Betsy apparently became severely disabled by epilepsy at some point and her daughter Emma Hignett and sister, Emma Peacock, took care of her. The snafu over the widow's pension was straightened out finally, but not until very shortly before she died in Sac City. From reading through all of the pension appeals, it appears that William's army recruiter enlisted him as William DuBay and when he applied for his pension, he applied as "DuBois," and the pension was denied, despite a letter from the Mayor of Lansing and every city council member and depositions from soldiers who'd served with him and had seen him get injured. After he died, Betsy fired her attorney, got a new one in Sac City and began applying for a widow and dependant children's pension, apparently helped by Vesta (Victor) and Charles Deremo. This time, though, Betsy applied as Betsy "DuBay" and it looks to us as if that pension application was the one that finally got approved.

We wonder -- is that why we are DuBays? Would our name be DuBois if this hadn't happened?
