14. | Thomas G. BEAVERS was born 1879, McDowell Co. WV (son of James BEAVERS and Rachel LAMBERT); died 01 Apr 1931, Johnson City, Washington Co. TN; was buried , Mountain Home National Cemetery, Johnson City TN. Other Events:
- _UID: 6DE0DC7865EB45409642BD6CD564886EA6DD
Notes:
According to the records of the U.S. National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, 1866-1938, Thomas served in the Spanish-American War, enlisting 16 Jul 1898 as a private in Co. B of the 3rd Virginia Infantry, being discharged 5 Nov 1898. At the time of his admission he received a pension of $7.30 a month.
His daughter, Ocie R. Beavers, was listed as his closest relative. His medical condition included dental disease, being blind in his right eye with an artificial eye, and defective vision in his left eye. Thomas was admitted 28 Aug 1930 and remained until his death 2 Apr 1931. He is buried at the cemetery of the National Home in Johnson City, TN.
Is is possible that his physical needs were more than his 3 daughters could care for and their having to work as well. So admission to this home was a benefit for all, especially given that Thomas served, he never left the United States or fought in a battle.
The Third Regiment of Infantry, Virginia Volunteers were mustered into service May, 1898 at Camp Lee [today Fort Lee in Petersburg, VA]. In June the regiment moved to Camp Alger [nears Falls Church, VA at Dunn Loring, VA] and remained there through September. This is where Thomas would have been during his enlistment. According to first hand sources from New York Times articles of Aug. 1898, during the existence of this camp the weather was exceedingly hot and some portion of the time very rainy, both of which conditions, with myriads of flies which infested the camp, were the causes of much discomfort to the men.
On August 2nd the Third Virginia was transferred to the 2nd Brigade, 3rd Division, of the 2nd Army Corps, but with the peace accords being signed on August 12th, a large volunteer army wasn't needed. On September 7th the regiment was ordered to return to Richmond to make preparations to be mustered out of service. The regiment was engaged in the storing of arms, equipment, tents, etc. following which the men of the regiment were furloughed for thirty-days with orders to reassemble at the expiration of that time in Richmond.
With the ending of the thirty-day furlough the men of the regiment reassembled in Richmond and were assigned to quarters in the Old Exchange and Ballard Hotels in the city, to conclude their service. On November 5th, 1898, the regiment was officially mustered out of United States service. So Thomas tasted military life and got to see eastern Virginia and live in Richmond hotels.
