H. R. 2628. Hattie Wilson, aged 87 years, whose post-office address is Wheatland, Mo., is the widow of Robert F. Wilson, whose military history is set forth in an excerpt of a report from the records of the Comptroller General's Office, as follows:

I have to advise that the roll of Capt. William H. Liggett's Company C, Sixtieth Regiment Enrolled Missouri Militia, from August 1, 1862, to April 30, 1863, shows that Robert F. Wilson was enrolled as a private August 1, 1862, mustered into service August 8, 1862, relieved from duty February 14, 1863, and had 194 days of actual service. He was paid on said roll for a service of 6 months and 4 days by the State of Missouri, and said State has been reimbursed by the United States.

The soldier died November 3, 1910. He and this applicant were married September 9, 1869. The evidence presented indicates that she is the legal widow of the soldier. The evidence presented indicates that applicant's late husband was identical with the soldier of record named in the foregoing report. The service indicated does not give title to pension under existing laws for the reason the organization in which the service was rendered was organized for State purposes only. It will be observed that the official report shows that the period of his service was for more than 80 days, that the service was honorable in every way, and that the soldier received an honorable discharge. Also that the organization to which he belonged became an integral part of and cooperated with the Federal forces, and that the State was reimbursed for his services by the United States.

Your committee has heretofore given favorable consideration to claims of this character and in the circumstances does not hesitate to give this applicant a pensionable status.

The medical evidence filed in support of the bill indicates that she is unable to contribute to her own support by reason of rheumatism, arteriosclerosis, disease of heart, and stiffness of joints.

She has title to a home place valued at $500. It does not appear she has other means or property or income from any source, except $10 per month old-age pension. Otherwise she is dependent upon charity for sustenance.
