The presentation and completeness of entries varies somewhat, but generally includes
class of claim (e.g., original, arrears, increase, restoration to rolls, bounty,
widow, father, mother, Mexican War), pension number, date filed, claimant's name and
address, "account of" (veteran for whose service the pension was being claimed),
service unit and rank, details (sometimes considerable) on the nature of the claim
and/or proofs offered, and a record of administrative actions taken on the
claim.
Also a letterpress book (August 1906-February 1917) of affidavits relating to federal
pensions for service in the Civil and Spanish American wars.
