Absalom served "nearly 18 months, from February 26, 1864, to August 5, 1865, in Company D, Tenth Indiana Calvary." He enlisted from Switzerland County, Indiana. A member of Joel R. Spahr Post, No. 580, Grand Army of the Republic, he was well-known and respected around the area. He was also a member of the Christian church and Hope lodge, No. 13, Knights of Pythias. The Knights took care of his funeral services and had been caring for him some time prior to his death.
A brief news notice—appearing in the Jeffersonville Star on Wednesday, June 30, 1915—indicated that Cora was "recently found insane [in North Madison] by a lunacy commission." Her doctor—identified as Dr. James W. Milligan—was the superintendent of the Soptheastern [sic] Hospital for the Insane. He sent a notice to the Jeffersonville Star indicating that the hospital was going to admit her for treatment. Cora's "condition" was mentioned in her father's obituary. Absalom's obituary noted that "her condition was a great worry to her father, who was devoted to her as he had also been to his wife." Neither article indicated when or if she had been released.
Jeffersonville Star, Jeffersonville, Indiana, and Friday, September 18, 1914; Wednesday, June 30, 1915, p. 1; and Monday, August 23, 1915, unnumbered.
