In 1865, after the death of Charles, widow Mary took on a boarder; a local politician & Election Officer named Thomas Wilson, former Sergeant, Co. E, 19th PA Cavalry. He had a wife and children living in a different household. Many rumors were speculated about their relationship in her pension file. It was thought that fraud was taking place to receive the pension since it was reported that she was married to Thomas Wilson. Both Mary and Thomas vehemently denied that they were married and he was simply a boarder. In 1894 she was dropped from the pension rolls due to her "notorious adulterous cohabitation" with Thomas. She died 6 Dec 1911, as Mary E. Wilson, widow of Thomas Wilson. Pension file is an interesting read.
