Aaron Salisbury, a Judge of the Court of Erie Co-

I certify that the within named widow Damer Ducken is a respectable person, & I judge her to be of the age as set forth by her, that she is blind & being quite aged, it would not be proper for her and probably impossible for her to make her application in open Court, that full reliance is due to her statement in the annexed deposition and application for a pension, that she cannot write her name on account of being blind
