While he returned from the war apparently unscathed, he shortly began to suffer from occasional debilitating pain that increased as the years went by, until he was eventually unable to work at all. Uria raised their remaining children and saw them off to marriage and their own homes as she cared for her ailing husband. She supported him in his successful effort to obtain a pension for his war service. After his death, Uria had to fight for her widow's pension, and was able to produce many witnesses who could testify to Thomas' condition and her moral worthiness to receive a pension, a requirement of the time. Her small pension allowed her to remain in her own home until her death on December 13, 1899.
