1) From the pension and service records we viewed at
the National Archives:
Henry Sipes served in the Civil War (Civil
War draft record). He enlisted 6 July, 1861 at
Indianapolis, Indiana and was a private in the 21st Infantry of the 1st
Indiana Heavy Artillery Infantry, Company F. He was captured as a POW
at Brashear, Louisiana on 23 June, 1863, and was paroled at Breshear City
between 24 - 29 June, 1863. Henry was honorably discharged 10 Jan,
1866, as a corporal, and he died 19 Jan 1883, at Salem, Marion County,
Illinois, of lung trouble - superinduced by measles. We also have
approximately 40 pages of various documents and records that were in his
pension file. If you need any of them, e-mail us. 2) Hannah and Henry's
marriage license. 3) Henry and
Isabelle's marriage license.
4) Wife (2) of Henry Sipes: Isabelle Webster*
- born c. 09 Mar 1848 Center Twp, Martin Co, IN; died 08 Aug 1921 Elnora,
Daviess Co, IN; obituary;
cause of death: stomach cancer; buried Burns City Cemetery, Burns City,
Martin, IN - unmarked; daughter of
Richard Barker Webster and
Surilda Hester Snodgrass; pension
records); Henry's name is mentioned often in his wife Isabelle's
pension records. *Isabelle
is also found here.
5) For unknown reasons, Henry Sipes moved to the Salem, Illinois area about
1880. We have sworn statements that he lived and worked there from
1880 until his death in 1883. We speculate that he went there in order
to find medical treatment or he and Isabelle were separated. He had
lived his whole adult life in the Martin County area, and his wife,
Isabelle, and their children lived in that area after his death. 6)
Henry's cause of death: pneumonia complicated by chronic bronchitis. 7)
