Middle Ga. Argus – Week of January 5, 1892
The Ordinary has been asked repeatedly how many and what widows in this county 
would receive the pension allowed them under the statue providing for the same.

In order to answer this question correctly the writer has procured a list of 
those whose applications for pensions have been passed upon and allowed.

The following is the list:

Mary A. Goins, Fannie A. Mayo, Diana Hardy, Judia A. Pace, Susan A. Waldrop, 
Amanda E. Capps, Nancy C. Duke, Martha C. Wright, Mary E. Ham, Eliza Townsend, 
C. A. Ogden, Lucy J. Gunn, Mary B. Gray, Pelens A. Stodghill, Sarah A. Pelt, 
Rebecca Fogetty, Sarah A. Bankston, Lucinda Edwards, Martha J. Trapp, Mary E. 
Davis, E. F. Proctor, Emerly J. Singley, Elisebeth A. Mayfield, Catherine Amos, 
Prthens(?) Wilson, B. B. Barron, Nancy S. Lynch, Sarah G. Etheridge, Mary F. 
Cawthorn, Elisabeth Johnson, Malissa C. Reeves. Lucy Jones, M. A. Cole, Emaline 
Evans, Martha E’Dalgo, Rena Wilder, Luisa J. Tollerson.

The claims for pensions of the above soldier widows have all been approved and 
are all on file in the state department and will be paid about the first of 
February next.

It will be seen that there are thirty seven of these claims which is above 
average from the counties of the state, there being about four thousand claims 
from the whole state.

An examination into this matter will discover the fact that Butts County will 
receive from the widow’s pension fund more money than the county will 
contribute of that fund.
