54TH CONGRESS, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. 5 REPORT
1st Session. No. 843.
LENA D. SMITH.
MARCH 18, 1896.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House and ordered to
be printed.
Mr. ANDERSON, from the Committee on Invalid Pensions, submitted
the following
REPORT:
[To accompany S. 1342.]
The Committee on Invalid Pensions, having carefully considered thc
bill (S. 1342) to pension Lena D. Smith, report as follows:
Green Clay Smith, the husband of this claimant, was mustered into
service June 9, 1846, as second lieutenant Company H, First Kentucky
Cavalry Mexican War Volunteers, to serve for twelve months, and was
mustered out June 8, 1847. He was mustered in as colonel Fourth
Kentucky Cavalry April 4, 1862; was seriously wounded in the leg in
action at Lebanon, Tenn., May 5, 1862. He was promoted to the rank
of brigadier-general of volunteers June 12, 1862. In September, 1862,
he was commanding the second division United States forces near
Covington and Newport, Ky. He continued in active service, com-
manding a part of the time a brigade and some of the time a division,
until December 1, 1863, when his resignation was accepted. He has a
record of treatment for chronic diarrhea of two months' standing in
1863. He was brevetted major-general of volunteers to date March 13,
1865, for meritorious services during the war.
As is well known General Smith died in this city a short time ago,
and the evidence presented to this committee shows that he left his
widow without means of support.
In view of his well-known services, he having rendered gallant and
meritorious services in two wars, and of the need of the widow, your
committee recommend the passage of the bill.
B. Rep. 4-1
