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.

March 25, 1914
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

The declaration filed March 5, 1914, is, on its face, a claim for pension
under the provisions of the act of April 19, 1908. The guardian was
advised of this fact and of his rights to file a claim on behalf of the
minor children of the soldier under the act of June 27, 1890. See carbon

On April 13, 1914, a valid claim was filed under the provisions of the act
of June 27, 1890. No further action by this Division appears necessary.

Sir:-
The claim filed by you April 13, 1914, on behalf of the minor children of
the above named
soldier, for pension under the act of June 27, 1890, has been allowed.
This issue may not be enrolled in time for the next quarterly payment, but
the certificate and check will reach you shortly thereafter.
The claim filed by you March 5, 1914, for pension under the act of April
19, 1908, on behalf of said minor children, is rejected on the ground that
said law does not grant pension to minor children in their own right.
Very respectfully,

Commissioner.
