John, son of Charlie Hyde and Lottie Hyde, died (age 68) on 29 December 1911 in Tuscaloosa, Tuscaloosa, Alabama.^[1] He was buried in the cemetery at Bryce Hospital in Tuscaloosa.^[1]

He was a Civil War Veteran and pensioner.^[2] He served as a private with Company E, 4th Regiment, Alabama Infantry (Conecuh and Covington Counties), but he enlisted in Dale County at the start of the war according to his widow.^[2] In 1907 he applied for a Civil War pension from the state of Alabama, since federal pensions were only granted to former Union soldiers.^[2][3] In order to be eligible for a pension, the soldier needed to demonstrate that he was either indigent or disabled.^[4] The report of a physician was dated 8 July 1907 stating that he had undergone an oral and physical examination.^[2] The findings were that John was "very infirm and debilitated also demented at the time, beside himself nervous and excitable unable to work he suffers with his kidneys."^[2] The oral examination found that John was wounded at Gaines Farm [Mill] in the upper right leg and received a flesh wound at the second Manassas.^[2] The doctor felt he was very deserving of a pension.^[2] The application also stated that he owned property and livestock worth about $272.^[2] In his wife's pension application, she stated that he was wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga.^[2]
