(R. S., §§ 4736, 4737.)

WIDOWS AND CHILDREN'S PENSIONS.

1299. If any person embraced in the first five classes of invalid pensioners before mentioned has died since the 4th of March, 1861, by reason of any wound, injury, or disease which, under the conditions and limitations provided with regard to him, would have entitled him to an invalid pension had he been disabled, his widow is entitled, or if there be no widow, or in case of her death without payment to her of any part of the pension, his children under sixteen years of age are entitled to receive the same pension as the husband or father would have been entitled to had he been totally disabled. Such pension commences with the death of the husband or father, to continue to the widow during her widowhood, and to the children until they severally attain the age of sixteen years; and if the widow remarry, to the children from the date of remar riage. For each child under the age of sixteen, the pension is increased at the rate of two dollars per month for such child.

The widow of any person embraced in the seventh class of invalid pensioners who has died in the service of injury received or disease contracted in the line of his duty is

entitled to receive half the monthly pay to which the deceased was entitled at the date of his death, and in case of her death or marriage the children under sixteen years of age are entitled to the pension. The rate of pension, however, is governed by the pay of the navy as it existed in January, 1835; but after the 25th of July, 1866, it is in no case to be less than eight dollars per month. But the widow of an engineer, fireman, or coal-heaver is not entitled to a pension by reason of the death of her husband, if his death was prior to August 31, 1842. (R. S., § 4729.)

The widow of any person embraced in the eighth class of invalid pensioners who has died by reason of any injury received or disease contracted in the line of duty in actual service is entitled to receive the same pension as her husband would have been entitled to had he been totally disabled, and in case of her death or remarriage the children of such person, while under the age of sixteen years, are entitled to receive the pension. But no such pension is to be less than eight dollars per month. (R. S., § 4731.)

The widows, and children under sixteen years of age, of officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians, and privates of the regulars, militia, and volunteers of the war of 1812, and of the various Indian wars since 1790, who remained at the date of their death in the military service of the United States, or who received an honorable discharge and have died of injury received or disease contracted in the service and in the line of duty, are entitled to receive half the monthly pay to which the deceased was entitled at the time of receiving the injury or contracting the disease which resulted in death; provided that no half-pay pension shall exceed the half pay of a lieutenant-colonel, or be less after the 25th of July, 1866, than eight dollars per month. (R. S., § 4732.)

DEPENDENT RELATIVES' PENSIONS.

1300. If any person embraced within the first five classes of invalid pensioners hereinbefore enumerated who has died since the 4th of March, 1861, by reason of any wound, injury, casualty, or disease which, under the conditions named, would have entitled him to an invalid pension, leaving no widow or legitimate child, but other relatives who were dependent upon him for support, in whole or in part, at the date of his death, such relatives are entitled, in the following order of precedence, to receive the same pension as such person would have been entitled to had he been totally disabled, to commence at the date of his death, viz.: first, the mother; secondly, the father; thirdly, orphan brothers and sisters under sixteen years of age who shall be pensioned jointly.
