In the matter of Sarah B. Allard, widow of Daniel Allard,
Co E, 37th Reg, Ill Inf Wid No 724.267
On this 19th day of Nov A.D. 1900, personally appeared before me, Notary Public,
in and for the aforesaid County, duly authorized to administer oaths, Sarah B.
Allard, aged 80 years, a resident of Cedar Rapids in the County of Linn and the
State of Iowa, well known to me to be reputable and entitled to credit, and who,
being duly sworn, declared in relation to aforesaid case as follows: I am
claimant in above cited claim. I am now upwards of eighty years of age, and
awhile without income or means of support. I do not own or possess any Real
Estate or personal property-save a few household [?] nor do I have any Stocks,
bonds, or investments of any kind, nor is there any person legally bound for my
support, nor has there been since the death of my husband, Daniel Allard, in
July last. I have no income, either by the month or by the year. There was no
prior marriage either of soldier or myself, but I am unable to prove that
because of my great age, and the difficulty of finding persons now living who
were acquainted with us when we became of marriageable age, more than sixty
years ago, and I ask that you remove this no prior marriage clause or part you
ask me to prove, as you are safe not assuming it anyway, as we were both young
in the year of our marriage, in 1837, and had no more than reached marriageable
age at that time, as I was not seventeen years of age and soldier was not twenty.
