Philander Doxtader Pension Records : Declaration for Original Pension of a Widow--Child Or Children under Sixteen Years of Age Surviving (July 26, 1886)

Louisa Doxtader (née Barlow) filled out this claim for a widow's pension after Philander's death. (Note: the document omits the year of its creation, but it is most likely that Louisa applied in the immediate aftermath of Philander's death, in 1886).
