29 JAN 1909, letter in mother's pension application file; "EUGENE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS, GUY C. STOCKTON, SUPERINTENDENT, office in High School, Eugene, OR.
to Mr. V. Warner, Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, DC; "The case to which
I referred in the enclosed letter was that of Mrs. Jennie V. Nelson, formerly
Mrs. James Monroe Stockton, and my mother. She was the wife of James Monroe
Stockton who served in an Iowa regiment during the Civil War. She married Knut
Nelson in 1889 and he died in 1897. Mrs. Nelson has never drawn a pension. She
applied for one in 1902 or 1903 but her petition was denied. From the
circular letters which you so kindly sent me I cannot be sure of her exact
status, as one of them refers to the matter of "renewal" of pension lost
through remarriage, and the other does not mention the matter of remarriage at
all. If under the recent pension acts Mrs. Nelson is entitled to pension, I
should be glad to have you furnish me the necessary blanks. I presume the
papers of her former application are on file in your office, and they should
establish the fact of Mr. Stockton's service and of mother's relationship to
him. Respectfully yours, Guy C. Stockton"
