Missouri Confederate Pension Applications - Polk County:
Missouri Pensions for Ex-Confederate Soldiers were approved 23 April 1913. An
applicant was required to have been a resident of the state two years prior to
making application. An applicant was not required to have served from Missouri.
Not all applications were the same, therefore not all items were included on all
forms. Some applications to the Confederate Soldiers' Home in Higginsville,
Missouri, were accepted prior to 1900.
Abstracted items include: Name of applicant, P.O. address, age, date of
application in parenthesis, where and when he entered service, death date if
noted. When actual birth date was given, it is quoted. When an application for
the Confederate Home was included an asterisk (*) precedes the name.
