http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122562152

The Board of Pension Examiners reviewed applications for Confederate Veteran pensions. The State Auditor was a member of this board and acted as the agency that issued the pension payments. The board examined each application to insure that the applicant actually was a bona fide veteran who had not deserted the service of the Confederacy or the applicant was a widow of such a man. The docket contains the date of the applicant's appearance before the board, the date witnesses were examined, the date affidavits were received and filed, and the date the final report was filed. The docket also contains a section for remarks that indicates whether the applicant was retained or stricken from the pension rolls.
