In matter pension claim No. 36182, of Hannah Hill, mother of Thomas Hill private Company "G", 18th Reg't, Indiana Volunteers. Personally appeared before me, Clerk of the Circut Court in and for the aforesaid county. Hannah Hill, claimant, who being duly sworn deposes as follows: My age 64 years. Postoffice address was Farabee, Indiana. My husband's name was Silas Hill, he died March 21st 1883. Thomas J. Hill, Soldier, was the son of Silas Hill and myself.

He was a cripple in 1861 when our son died in the service. Thomas was our oldest son, he did the most of the work on the ffarm, under the supervision of his father. I depended upon him for our support, for he was the only child at that time old enough to do much work. The other boys did some work, but they were too young to work much. In 1861, my husband had 120 acres land. It was poor land and we could not by close living get more off of it than the family could use. It was worth perhaps $1000. We had but little personal property, two cows and horses in 1861, and some household furniture, take together was worth about $250. From 1861 up to time I file my claim we had about the same amount of property each year. I know that we had a hard time to live, our living was usually scanty. I never remarried since the death of my husband in 1883. I will give the
