Frank Metty's Pension Application

By -

For anyone who has never checked pension files, they can prove to be valuable sources of information. This is an example of one of the items generally found in the file. In this case it was filed on 29 December 1898 and in it is information relative to the claimant's marriage and the birth of some of his children.

Sometimes the information can be amusing as well. For instance question #3 on the form asks: What record of marriage exists? Here our ancestor proudly responds: "record is good." I do not believe that is really the answer the government was expecting?
