An account of the resource
An August 5, 1882 Florence Gazette notice that an elderly black woman named Mely Decatur, who lived near Pruitton, in north-central Lauderdale County, had "received the sung little sum of $2,180, from the Federal Treasury, on account of services rendered Uncle Sam by her deceased son, in the late unpleasantness [the Civil War]."
Attempts to identify Mrs. Decatur and her son have so far proven fruitless.
