A tidbit found in June 23, 1905 Dresden Enterprise: "Pensions of Widows Up to Wednesday night, thirty four applications for Widow�s pensions under the act of 1905 had been received by the state board of pension examiners, and of these fifteen are for pensions of the first class, and nineteen for pensions of the second class. It is now apparent that the entire annual appropriation of $25,000. will be required to pay the pensions of the first class, which is to be made up of the widows of Confederate soldiers who were killed or died while in the service. The demand for an increased appropriation to pay widows of the second class, which is made up of widows of soldiers who have died since their discharge will force the next general assembly to increase the appropriation."
