Query-I am the widow of soldier
OF the civil war. My claim for pen
sion under the general law has been
rejected on the ground that my hus-
ice. My claim for widows pension
under the act of June 27, 1890, has
also been rejected because I have an
income of over $3.50 per year. Is there
any show for me under the pension
law passed during the last session Of
congress or will the rejection of those
claims prevent me from getting the
benehts OF the same?-Mrs Matilda
K. NJ.
SAnsWer-You would have title to
widows pension under the act OF April
49,, 1908, provided the soldier served
80 days in the civil war and received
an honorable discharge therefrom and
you were married to him prior to June
27, 1890. Application should be filed
at once, as pension if allowed begins
from the date of filing. The fact of
the rejection of your former claims
will not prevent you from receiving
the benefits of the provision of the
act of April 10, 1908.
