John F Emery - Civil War records

Here is an additional document that provides more details on the injuries sustained during the Civil War by John F Emery, the son Olive (Jacobs) and Henry Emery.

Apparently John had spent some time at Battle Springs Mountain Sanitarium in Hot Springs, South Dakota due to his injuries.   This explains why he was not listed as living with his wife, Phoebe during the 1900 US Census.
