And this declarant states that she is the widow of Luther Hall who was a soldier of the Revolution and who was a pensioner of the United States.

She further states that she has made application for and has received the benefit of the acts of 1838 1843 1844 and 1848 at the rate of $80 per annum. She proved in her former declaration the date of her marriage and the date of her husband's death and she refers to the proof in the pension office to show that she was married prior
