| H. R. 9978, Elizabeth M. Adrian, aged 61 years,
whose post-office address is R.F.D. No. 1, Box 101, Racine, Wis., is the
widow of Michael Adrian, late a private, Company D., Twenty-seventh
Regiment Iowa Infantry, from August 14, 1862, to August 8, 1865, who was
a pensioner under certificate No. 542590, at the rate of $50 per month
and who died January 29, 1923.
He and this claimant were married January 11, 1888. She has been denied pension as the soldier's widow on the ground that she cannot be accepted as his legal widow under existing laws, for the reason the soldier had a living undivorced wife at the time that he and this claimant contracted marriage. Soldier's first wife secured a divorce from him November 19, 1901. From the date of their marriage the soldier and claimant lived and cohabited as husband and wife and were recognized as such for a period of 35 years. She bore him seven children. Under the circumstances your committee is disposed to give her a pensionable status. Medical evidence shows she requires the aid and attendance of another person by reason of myocarditis and senility. She has no property and no income. No one is legally bound to her support. It is recommended her name be placed on the pension roll at the rate of $30 a month. |
