The T-288 cards nearly always give the name of the applying widow, which the T-289 cards do not. T-288 sometimes also give name of a guardian if one was appointed for orphaned children under age 16 whose father died while in service. T-288 cards, however, do not give death dates for veterans, which the T-289 cards do. So it can be very helpful to get both :D Fold3.com has a free trial period. What it does *not* have is the Compiled Military Service Record Cards for any Ohio, PA or Indiana units. The CMSRs give summaries from each muster- or payroll for each soldier, and are great for tracking military careers of our relatives. Sometimes they include enlistment papers too, with birth dates or at least ages, places of residence, etc. You can, however, order copies of these from NARA for $, in addition to actual pension files.<br /><br />In my summaries above I did not give complete data from what I found. So there is more detail for you to note and interpret yourself.<br /><br />Good hunting!Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973412349529875187.post-47938972610396143302014-09-30T19:57:36.945-07:002014-09-30T19:57:36.945-07:00Hello :D, thanks much for the military background...Hello :D, thanks much for the military background for Edward Clark. Such a head start you've provided. I will of course have to verify all this! Thanks for being so helpful and reading my post. --DeniseDenise Hibsch Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049339039046414090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973412349529875187.post-42221440263254064972014-09-30T17:50:12.674-07:002014-09-30T17:50:12.674-07:00Grant Clark's father, Edward C. Clark, served ...Grant Clark's father, Edward C. Clark, served in B Company, 33rd Ohio Volunteers. This is spelled out in 1890 Veterans Schedule where he is listed in Bratton Twp., Adams County, OH, which is where he and wife Sarah J. and youngest daughter were enumerated for 1900.<br /><br />His pension index card states he applied in 1874 for an invalid's pension [NARA T289. Pension applications for service in the US Army between 1861 and 1900, grouped according to the units in which the veterans served. (http://www.fold3.com/image/249/5905043/)]. The card gives his death date as ov. 29, 1917 -- you would have to verify that this corresponds with your other research. His pension certificate number was 238,410. The card further states that his widow applied for widow's pension 6 March 1918 [certificate W-868,809]. Familysearch.org has pension payment cards uploaded, arranged alphabetically and the collection listed under "Veterans Administration". I think the cards have been pretty well indexed with links; they were very tedious to browse. If you have not used these, there is both front and back of each card -- the back is in the image after the front. These are often sources of death dates that can be found nowhere else but possibly in the actual pension files.<br /><br />Have fun :DGeoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.com
