- ↑ At the 1860 census, Bell Co., Texas, Stacy and Eunice McDaniel appear as a household with one daughter, Evaline, one year old. S. G. Leatherman and family are about 3 dwellings earlier on the census roll, and Mary McDaniel and herhousehold are next after. Stacy and Eunice farmed in Bell Co., After his death, in 1876, Eunice continued to live in her own home, at least through the time of the 1880 census, when she appears as head of household, with two smallchildren, two dwellings after her father, S. G. Leatherman. On 4 June 1884, she married M. G. Raney, and lived in the house with her daughter Mary Louise, Mary Louise's husband Frank G. Raney, who was M. G. Raney's son, and Frank andLou's children, until the death of M. G. Raney, in 1898. After his death, she apparently began to divide her time among her children's homes. At the 1900 census, Eunice was living with her daughter, Jane MAYS, also apparently widowed. Atthe 1910 census, she is found in the home of John B and Ella (McDaniel) MADDUX. At the 1920 census, she was again living with Frank and Lou Raney. When Eunice died in 1935, she was living with John and Ella MADDUX, in Waco. Eunice A.McDaniel was among signers of a petition to Gov. P. Murrah, circulated at some point during the Civil War, asking the governor to detail Stephen T. Slater to make spinning wheels and looms so that the ladies of Williamson, Milam and BellCounties might aid the cause by producing clothing for the troops. Even though Eunice had remarried and been widowed again, in 1920 she was granted pension no. A36968, from the State of Texas, based on the service of Stacy McDaniel to theConfederate States of America. In the application for this pension, Eunice reported having lived in Texas 67 years, and in Milam Co. for 36 years. This statement serves to corroborate information that her father, S. G. Leatherman broughthis family to Texas in 1853. This process of gaining a Confederate Widow's Pension had not been without pitfalls, as the Co. Judge states that this is the second attempt, the first application having been lost 'in some way.' The same Co.Judge reported that he had excused Eunice Raney from attending the proceedings, as her health was too poor to make the eleven mile journey from her home to the Court House.
