In the matter of the widow's application for pension, acct. of Albert Tuttle,

late a private of company I, 38th Reg. Wis. Vol. Inf.: Claim No. 386224.

On this 14th day of February, 1891, personally appeared before me,

Charles Burcee, aged 37 years, a resident of the town of Weston, Clark County,

Wisconsin, well known to me to be respectable and entitled to credit, who being

duly on oath disposes and says that he has known the family of the late Albert

Tuttle for the fifteen years last past: that he knew Albert Tuttle in his life-

time that the said Albert Tuttle at the time of his death was not possessed of sufficient

property to leave his widow and children above want: that his property consisted

a small farm - 37 acres- only in part susceptible of cultivation and a small a-

mount of personal property: that the said farm was encumbered by a mortgage, and

that nearly all of the personal property: that the said farm is not to exceed $250: and

that the said farm would not rent for more that $25 and the taxes: and that the said

Caroline L. Tuttle has not been remarried since the death of the said Albert Tuttle, but

still remains his widow: that the children of the said Albert and Caroline L. Tuttle

- Lillian and Leva - are still living and being cared for and supported by their

mother, Caroline L. Tuttle and said widow - Caroline L. Tuttle is dependant on her

left no sufficient support for the care of their children. This affiant further

says that he is the chairman of the said town of Weston and is a near neighbor of

the said Caroline L. Tuttle-living one mile: that he has no interest in the above

cited pension and is in no way related to the claimant nor concerned in

prosecution of her claim.
