time that her father, Peter Rugg, was
murdered in Missouri in 1869. In that
year he left Jasper county, Iowa, to
assist Thos. Dee in moving his goods
to Missouri. Some time after their de-
parture Mrs. Rugg received a letter
from Dee saying that Mr.. Rugg had
died on the road and not knowing what
else to do had buried the body. The
family was in poor circumstances and
unable to give the matter further at
tention. Shortly after the mother died,
and the children were scattered. A
short time ago Mrs. Feeney applied for
pension through Andrews 4 Hanna
on the ground of having been minor
child of Peter Rugg at the time of his
death, which it was supposed was
caused by wounds received in the ser
vice. They wrote to Missouri to get
the particulars of his death and the
letter was published in q newspaper,
