I requested my great-great grandfather’s Civil War records
and found the proper spelling of my great-great-grandmother’s maiden name. I
also found that she filed for widows pension before her husband had died. They
were separated, he lived in Wisconsin and she lived in Illinois. She collected
for about a year until he filed for the disability benefits and she was
cancelled and he started collecting. Then after he really died, she had to
re-file all the same paperwork. The file is quite large and some of the
information is duplicated because of her filing twice for widow’s benefits. I’m
surprise that they paid her the second time, I would have expected the benefits
would have been held for about a year, since she collected those previously.
