Did anybody have a Civil War ancestor that spent time in an Old Soldiers Home after the war? My 4 x Great Grandfather DeWitt C. Greenman (23rd Iowa Infantry, 1862-1863) lived at the Western Branch of the U.S. National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers in Leavenworth, Kansas. He was admitted on June 14, 1904 and died there on August 10, 1907 at the age of 86. DeWitt is buried in Leavenworth National Cemetery.
