Mrs. Gunner Gets Her Pension.

In the pension claim of julia A. Gunner
as dependent mother of V. ). Gunner, late
Company II, llth Maine Volunteers,
Assistant Secretary Bussey overruled the
former action Of rejection by the commits
sioner of Pensions and dire cted the ioow .
name be placed upon the pension rolls
The adverse action of the pension bureau
was based upon the ground that at the date
of the soliier's death the claimant was not
dependent upon him for support but was
comfortably supported by her husbands in
come from their property.
The record shows that early in the war
soldier, who WAS unmarried, was drafted in
to the service but because Of the depend
ance of the family upon him he secured a
loan of $500 and with it paid substitute to
go in his place. Later on he was again
drafted and being unable to raise sufficient
sum to again pay q substitute he joined the
ll,h Maine volunteers and ! | months there
after was killed in action at Bermuda Hun
dred, Va.
The Assistant Secretary finds from testi-
mony that at the date of her sons death the
claimants family consisted Of herself and
husband, who bscause of an accident, was
for many years unable to do half = mans
work two daughters, one of whom was in
fee BILE health; a crippled and totally de
pendent son, and Valentine, lhe soldier. 1t
was also shown that at that time the
family were in debt for $500 paid for q
substitute and their income was derived
from combined labor Mother making coats
when could find any work to do) did not
at any time exceed $3.50 year. The As
sistant Secretary finds the dependence of
the mother undoubtedly such as was con-
templsted in the act making dependence
mothers pensionsble. The pension win
date from 1864 and will aggregate in ar
rears something over 5000.
