    3. Hi all, A researcher friend of mine, down at the library, has been trying to identify veterans buried in the area. Lately she has been cross-referencing pension applications for the Civil War. She has run across a pension application for a Matilda Padget who said she and her husband Alfred P. Padgett was in the 8th Battalion in GA. In the affidavit, she mentions that her husband had been killed in service (don't recall the battle), that she was a nurse during the civil war, and that she was released from service at ??? after the surrender. I told my friend that I'd question the list for information. She wants to know: Does anyone know of a source that lists the involvement of women during the Civil War? Would Matilda Padget be eligible for a Military Stone? She doesn't have one. What information would be needed to get a military stone for her, if eligible? Thanks all for anything, Keith Bailey
