The Veteran Census was ordered to enumerate Union veterans and the widows of 
Union veterans, but some Confederate veterans and widows made it into the 
schedules, as well. There are almost 75,000 names in this schedule.<br> <br> 
This enumeration was requested by the US Pension Office to assist Union veterans 
and their widows in locating people who had served with the veterans and who 
could help pension claims go through by testifying on behalf of the veteran or 
widow who was applying for the pension. Other, less publicized uses for this 
census was to allow the government to determine the number of Civil War veterans 
and widows for pension legislation purposes, and also for members of Congress to 
conduct an informal study into the effect of different types of military service 
on the longevity of the veterans.
