WIDOW OF A DECEASED SOLDIER, SAILOR OR MARINE FOR A PENSION. 

Name:  Dorothy Starn Carter
Age 71 as of 1914
Widow of Christopher Carter
Married Feb. 14, 1862, husband died June 24, 1901,

Pittsylvania County, Va  (gretna)

Member of: Company B, 38th Va Infantry under Capt. Cabell and Col. Griggs,

Carter enlisted in 1864 and no records were found to substantiate that he had 
gotten a horse for the war; the commonwealth needed more detail as to 
circumstances and this is the response:

Dear Sir:  My husband C. L. Carter was detailed to get a horse in Dec. 1864 and 
came home on a furlough to get his horse and was then detailed by the government 
to run a mill for the benefit of the soldierső wives and captains which he did 
until the war closed.  Most Resp. Yours, Dorothy Starn Carter.
