Enrolling Act: An act to enroll the late soldiers, their widows and orphans, of the late armies of the United States, residing in the State of Indiana - Approved April 13, 1885, as amended by an Act approved March 11, 1889

 

                Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, that each Township Assessor, as Assessor of his township, at the time for taking lists of property for taxation, shall enroll every person employed in the late armies of the United States, of the war of 1812, of the war of the United States with Mexico, of the War of 1861, and of all wars of the United States with Indian tribes, and other persons specified in the several classes below, residing in his township. First. Any officers of the army including regulars, volunteers and militia, or any officer in the navy or marine corps, or any enlisted man, however employed, in the military or naval services, or in the marine corps, whether regularly mustered or not. Second. Any master serving on a gunboat, or any pilot, engineer, sailor, or other person, not regularly mustered, serving upon any gunboat or war vessel of the United States. Third. Any person not an enlisted soldier in the army, serving for the time being as a member of the militia of any State, or who vol­unteered for the time being to serve with any regular organized military or naval force of the United States, or who otherwise volun­teered and rendered service in an engagement with the British, rebels, or Indians. Fourth. Any acting assistant surgeon, or surgeon, or contract surgeon, or any other physician or person who temporarily volunteered to assist in taking care of the sick or wounded, and any chaplain of the army or navy. Fifth. Every widow, whether remarried or not, and every child under sixteen years of age of all persons mentioned above in classes one, two, and three, and the children of like ages and widows of every army or navy surgeon and army or navy chaplain, who have died or shall hereafter die, and the name of the deceased father or husband of said children and widows.

 

                Sec. 2. Said Assessors shall write the first and surname of every person listed by them, and note whether of African descent, the rank, letter of the company, number of the regiment, and the State to which the regiment belonged of which the listed man was a member, the arm of service in which employed, whether injured, wounded, or contracted disease while in the service, and his present post office address, and the post office address of all other persons listed, and in case of deceased fathers and husbands of said chil­dren and widows, the date of their death and place of residence at the date of death; and shall ascertain and report whether any widow, not remarried, or other person listed, is in indigent circumstances, or in the almshouse, or dependent upon others for support.

 

                Sec. 3. The first enrollment under this act shall be made at the time of listing property for taxation for the year of 1886, and once in four years thereafter, and the roll shall be returned, at the time the Assessor makes his assessment returns to the County Auditor, to the County clerks of the proper counties.

 

                Sec. 4. The Auditor of each county shall furnish the Township Assessor, at the expense of his county, such blanks and books as many be necessary for the aforesaid statements, in accordance with the forms to be prescribed by the Adjutant General of the State of Indiana; and the Circuit Clerk shall, within thirty days after the aforesaid statements and rolls are returned to him, procure suitable books at the expense of his county, and prepare duplicate tabular statements thereof by townships, cities and towns, with the names arranged in alphabetical order, one of which he shall forward to the Adjutant General of the State of Indiana, and the other shall be filed and retained in his office, and for said services the clerk shall be entitled to the same compensation as now allowed by law for similar services, to be paid out of the county treasury; and each clerk shall furnish a true and certified transcript of such records to any regular organization of ex-soldiers when requested through their officers, and each clerk shall furnish all necessary information con­tained in said tabular statement to pension claimants, their widows and orphans, and other claimants for pay and bounty, as they or their agents or attorneys may demand, for which service last mentioned he shall receive no compensation whatever.

                Sec. 5. It shall be the duty of the Adjutant General, when he shall have received the said tabular statement from the County Clerk, to put the same on permanent file in his office, and to make therefrom a general List, arranging the surnames in alphabetical order, by regiments and companies, which general list shall be retained in his office; and he shall transmit a true copy thereof to the Commis­sioner of Pensions at Washington, D.C., and shall furnish information to pension claimants and others, as provided in the next preced­ing section, under the restrictions and limitations imposed under the County Clerk.

 

                Sec. 6. Any officer entrusted with the custody of the records above provided for, who shall refuse or neglect to furnish within a reason­able length of time, information or transcripts as herein before provided, to the proper applicant or applicants, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and be fined, on conviction thereof, in a sum not less than twenty-five dollars and not more than one hundred dollars.

 

About This Index: This index contains the following information from the 1890 soldier’s enrollment list: Soldier's Name, Rank, Company, Regiment, State, Type of Service (whether Volunteers, Drafted, Substitute, etc.), if the Soldier has died, the date and place of his death and the names of the Soldier's widow & orphans. The "Remarks" column includes: notations for any Irregular Service, Regulars, Militia, or Marines; the war the soldier partici­pated in (if other than the Civil War), as well as the soldier's race (if other than white). Due to similarities in handwriting, the letters "I" and "J" may be misinterpreted. The same soldier may appear more than once in the index--their service with each different rank, company or regiment is listed separately. Always consult the actual 1890 soldiers enrollment list, as it contains much more information than what is included in this index, including information on injuries and diseases contracted while in service.

 

The original 1890 soldiers’ enrollment lists are kept at the Indiana State Archives. The lists have also been microfilmed and are available through the Family History Library.
