 1890 Special Census of Veterans

 Introduction

 Special Schedules of the Eleventh Census (1890) Enumerating Union
 Veterans and Widows of Union Veterans of the Civil War.

 An act of March 1, 1889, provided that the Superintendent of Census
 in taking the Eleventh Census should "cause to be taken on a special
 schedule of inquiry, according to such form as he may prescribe,
 the names, organizations, and length of service of those who had
 served in the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps of the United States in
 the war of the rebellion, and who are survivors at the time of said
 inquiry, and the widows of soldiers, sailors, or marines."  Each
 schedule calls for the following information: name of the veteran
 (or if he did not survive, the names of both the widow and her
 deceased husband); the veteran's rank, company, regiment or vessel,
 date of enlistment, date of discharge, and length of service in
 years, months, and days; post office and address of each person
 listed; disability incurred by the veteran; and remarks necessary
 to a complete statement of his term of service.  Practically all of
 the schedules for the States Alabama through Kansas and
 approximately half of those for Kentucky appear to have been
 destroyed, possibly by fire, before the transfer of the remaining
 schedules to the National Archives in 1943.
