Summary: Written on the bottom of this file seems to indicate this pension is through the Louisville, Kentucky Agency. The date of 22 June 1865 is written with the number 8. That could indicate that the widow's pension of $8 per month commenced on 22 June 1865, which would indicate the soldier died on 21 June 1865. The following children are listed with the date that they would be ineligible for pension. The date is typically the day after their 16th birthday. Lewellyn (27 April 1879), and Frank (14 January 1881). The increase for the child's pension of $2 per month commenced on 25 July 1866. Claim handled through the Southern Division office.
