Marriage - Iowa Remarriage Els
tOppel-Leg itimacy.

Soldier and claimants mother were
ceremonially married in Iowa in 1856
Rumor of a prior marriage contracted
by soldier is insufficient to overcome
the presumption OF his capacity to con.
tract marriage with claimants mother
Said mother was ceremonially married
to one Caffyn prior to the death of the
soldier under an alleged but erroneous
belief that soldier was dead. She
claims to have been subsequently law
fully married to said Caffyn. She was
pensioned as soldiers widow until Sept
4, 1865, since which time she has never
received or claimed pension Held:
That her declarations and conduct es-
top her from claiming pension as the
widow Of soldier after Sept. 4, 1865
which date may be accepted as the date
of lawful marriage between her and
Caffyn. (22. 9-20-'05)

Guiding her "necessitous circum-

2. The fact that claimants income is
less than $3.50 per year does not there
