Certificates
from GAR post commanders stating that a soldier, sailor, or marine veteran
had died without funds to pay for a burial and payment orders sent to the
State Treasurer authorizing that $25 be expended for burial expenses. Most,
if not all, are Civil War veterans.
The certificates show the GAR Post name, number and location, date of
certificate, post commander's name; name of deceased veteran, death date, war
served, unit served; name of GAR Department Commander, his signature, and
date and place of signature. The payment orders show place of GAR
headquarters, date, name of Department Commander, name and place of residence
of deceased veteran, signature of Department Commander, name of State
Treasurer, and name of cashier, bank and location to whom payment should be
made. There is one folder of Treasurer’s Warrants authorizing the State
Treasurer to pay for the burials. |
