WHO arc EmtitIed 20 Pensions.

The question is often asked "Who
are entitled to pensions 2" The act Of
Congress, passed July, 1862, made liber-
al provisions Tor granting pensions to
disabled or invalid soldiers who have
served in the army the Union since the
4th of March, 1861, and also to all wild
ows and children (under sixteen years Of
sge,) as well as mothers and dependent
sisters of soldiers killed in battle, or who
shall die by reason of wounds received
or disease contracted while in service and
in the line of duty. The provisions, as q
whole arc much m ore liberal than the old
pension laws for the revolution or the
war Of 1912. The amount Of pensions
for total disability are fixed as follows :
Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1863-04-23

But large majority of those accepted
as pensioners are only partially disabled,
and the amount of pension is rated &C
cording to their disability, which may be
one.fourth, one.third, one-half, two
thirds, three -fourths, &c. The disabii.
ty is based on the proportion which the
effects Of q wound received or disease con-
tracted in public service actually disables
one from obtaining livelihood.
