GIVEN OVER $4,000 PENSION.
Widow Who Applied Many Years
After Her Husbands Death.

A pension has been granted to the widow
of Knud Knudsen, d soldier in the late
war, the back pay of which aggregates
ever $4,000. The man is a native of Nor
way and was married to the woman who
row gets the pension in April, 1858. Knud-
sen emigrated to this country in 1861, en-
listed January u. 1862, in Company H,
18th Regiment Wisconsin Volunteer In
fantry, and died in the service October IL,
1853. In Connection with allowance of the
calm the pension office makes the follow
ing statement:
"On August 81, 1894, thirty-one years
after the soldiers death, the widow who
has never left Norway, applied for a pen
sion. Under the present laws she has title
and the claim must be allowed, granting
arrears of pension from the date of the
soldiers death, making the first payment
amount to between $4,000 and 5000. In
all claims filed subsequent to July 1, 1850,
and prior to June I, 1883, pension, if al
lowed, would begin from date of filing the
applica ton. On the latter date, however,
an act was passed which provides that
all pensions granted to widows hereafter
shall commence from the date of the sol
dier's death"
