As the result of a messy separation from Daniel Riegle, Amelia filed for a portion of his Civil War pension. They never divorced and the pension case was dropped when he died in 1901 and she gained the widow's pension by default.
[Death Certificate, #28837, spells last name as "Riggle" and gives DoB as June 1840 and the name of her father as Jacob Felmey.]
