the functions of any office whatever under any authority, or pretended 
authority, in hostility to the United States that she will support the 
Constitution of the United States;  That she is not in receipt of a pension 
under any previous act that she makes this declaration for the purpose of 
being placed on the pension rolls of the United States, under the provisions 
of the Act approved March 9th, 1818, and hereby constitutes and appoints, 
with full power of substitution and revocation, C. W. Bennett, of Washington 
D. C., her true and lawful attorney to prosecute her claim, and obtain the 
pension certificate that may be issued;  that her post office is at Milner, 
County of Randolph, State of Alabama  that her domicile or place of abode is 
one and one half mile west of Milner.
