A Resolution to appropriate sixty dollars to pay the pension of Mrs. Delila 
Owens of Rabun county, for the year 1895

Whereas, Mrs. Delila Owens of Rabun county is the widow of Wm. R. Owens, who 
was a Confederate soldier and who was killed in Virginia on the 13th day of 
October, 1864, while there engaged in battle; and

State as such Confederate soldier’s widow, under an Act approved December 23, 
1890, and an Act amendatory thereto approved December 20, 1892; and

Whereas, The said Delila Owens legally received pensions from this State for 
the years 1891, 1892, 1893, 1894 and 1896, under the provisions of said Acts of 
1890 and 1892; and

Whereas, The said Delila Owens was extremely ill in the year 1895, and thereby 
wholly unable, both physically and mentally, to make her application for

required by law had expired; be it therefore

Resolved by the House, Senate concurring, That the sum of sixty dollars be, and 
the same is, hereby appropriated to Delila Owens, and the Treasurer of the 
State is hereby authorized to pay the same upon warrant of the Governor.
