Pension Notes:

The widow’s pension for “Drewry” AKA Drury Troutman is dated March 25, 1903. The file confirms the pension number 134.068 and confirms Drury’s widow’s name, Harriet. Page 2 of 2 states “no minor,” and the office is listed as Louisville. The handwritten note stating “no minor” provides possible evidence that Drury and Harriet did not have any children. In addition, the pension office of “Louisville” is written on the file, which provides evidence that Harriet may have been living in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1903, at the time this pension file was dated.
