Middle initial confirmed by D Snyder on December 4, 2020. 1850 Ray County, Missouri 1860 Camden Township, Ray, Missouri 1870 Camden Township, Ray, Missouri 1880 Camden, Ray, Missouri From Member # 47526185: Published in the Kansas City Journal on April 17, 1899: Unique Distinction Samuel Tarwater, of Ray County, the Only Man Who Draws a Pension From Missouri. Samuel Tarwater, of Ray county, enjoys the distinction of being the only man who draws a pension from the state of Missouri. Tarwater, who is a quaint character known to every person in his county, was a soldier in the Mormon war, in which he was crippled. He received his injury while in the service of the state, and for the last fifty years no legislature has adorned without appropriating $100 to pay Tarwater's pension. "He is the only man but one, I believe," said Judge Jackson L. Smith, formerly attorney general of Missouri, "who ever drew a pension from the state. The only other man that I have in mind was Absalom Hughes, who got his shins broken in the Mexican war in '47. The legislature granted him a perpetual license to keep a saloon in the Callaway county. He kept that saloon from 1849 to 1897, when he died. Of course, the grant died with him. "While I was attorney general, temperance people came to me time and again to known if there wasn't some way to get his license revoked. I always told them that it would be very difficult, because the old fellow was crippled, had fought for his state, and no legislature, probably, could be inducted to revoke the grant. "The old man made enough out of the saloon to support his family well, and, after all, the good he derived from it in that way may have compensated for the evil." Old man Hughes' saloon was known all over Callaway county. He was considered a unique character. Scarcely a man in the county has not, at some time or other, been in his famous saloon. Another proprietor succeeded him, obtaining a license of course, from the county. From D Snyder on January 12, 2021: "Suggested history: During the conflict, one of the militia men named Samuel Tarwater was injured by Parley P. Pratt. After Tarwater fell unconscious from the injury, Michael D. Quinn states the company of Danites "...mutilated the unconscious Tarwater "with their swords" striking him lengthwise in the mouth, cutting off his under teeth, and breaking his lower jaw; cutting off his cheeks… and leaving him [for] dead."[9]" From Tom DeNardo on April 9, 2021: Death town.
