OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.
This oath is required from pensioners once, (on the first payment to new ones,) who are native-born, or have been naturalized. If a ward, from the guardian, and whenever there is a change of guardian; if dead, from the person or persons executing the vouchers. When those of foreign birth have not resided in the United States, the magistrate may certify to the same; but if they have, and do not owe allegiance, it should be properly explained. When a pension has been increased, and the oath has been previously furnished, it will not be required again of the pensioner.
I, Harriet J. Warren , a pensioner of the United States, do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States against all enemies, whether domestic or foreign, and that I will bear true faith, allegiance, and loyalty to the same, any ordinance, resolution, or law of any State Convention or Legislature to the contrary notwithstanding; and, further, that I do this with a full determination, pledge, and purpose, without any mental reservation or evasion whatsoever; and, further, that I will well and faithfully perform all the duties which may be required of me by law. So help me God.

0 CLAIMANTS OF ARREARS DUE DECEASED PENSIONERS. 0
Arrears are payable to a loyal widow; if no widow, then to the loyal children with or without administration. When an administrator applies for claimants, evidence of his official character can be shown in the certificate of the court, and also that he is entitled to share in the arrears, or that he is acting at their request. Adult children and a minor by his or her guardian, with certificate (or in that of court) that he or she is acting, can, by a written order to one of their number authorize him or her to receive the arrears, and then such authorized child or guardian alone executes the vouchers and oath of allegiance, but will not be required to take the oath of attorney. A pensioner dying before the date of his or her pension certificate, payment will be made as provided by the Acts of June 6 and July 25, 1866, and July 27, 1868. A pension cannot be conveyed by will, nor is it liable for debts. If a pension is not claimed at the agency within three years from date of death, or from the date when payable, the pension claim must be re-established at the Pension Office. When a periodical examination was due at date of death of an Invalid, evidence of the existence of his disability must be shown in the certificate, under oath, of attending physician; or, if none, by other competent witnesses.
Be it known, That Harriet J. Warren, daughter of Betsey Green deceased, who was the widow of Henry Green, late a Pion in the war do solemnly swear that the said Betsey Green (Henry) was the identical person who was a pensioner, and is now dead, and to whom a certificate of pension was issued, which is herewith surrendered †.
