Biography -- (Findagrave.com):

Andrew "Andy" Jackson Bruner was born in 1836 (or possibly 1837) in Indiana. The names of his parents are unknown. In the 1850 census, he was living with James and Sarah Bruner in Liberty Twp, Hendricks Co., IL. They are too young to be his parents, but are very likely close relatives.

Around 1855, Andrew moved to Bond Co., IL with his family. The source of this information was two friends and lifelong Illinois-residents, Neilly McNeil and Joseph N Skelton, who swore attestations included in Andrew's civil war pension file that they had known Andrew and his father's family since 1855.

Andrew was married on August 12, 1860 to a young widow, Mrs. Allie (Norman) Barrett. Allie's previous husband Scott B. Barrett died on March 14, 1860. Andrew and Allie were to have many children together, of whom the following names are known: Mary Ellen, John Henry, Sarah Frances, Martha Rosetta "Rosa", William W, Oscar Jason, Walter Mason, and Ginevra "Jennie."

On November 30, 1864, Andrew enlisted as a private in Company G of the 50th regiment of the Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He was discharged on July 13, 1865. Andrew became ill while marching between North Carolina and Virginia and lost almost all of his vision. He was pensioned on September 17, 1867 for Opthalmia. This pension was what probably allowed Andrew and Allie to purchase a small amount of land in Clinton Co. right outside of Keyesport, becoming landowners for the first time.

On January 4, 1882, Andrew died of facial erysipelas in Keyesport, where he was buried. Andrew's widow Allie sought continuation of the pension in April 1882, but was rejected. It was not until the Dependent and Disability Act was passed in 1890, that she was able to secure a pension as widow and guardian of Andrew's children under the age of 16. Allie remarried to Ebenezer Potts on October 21, 1891.

He was buried in January 1882 at Keyesport City Cemetery, Keyesport, Clinton Co., IL, Findagrave #169028873.
