I was at the Ohio Historical Archives today digging around and I found the following article at the beginning of the film for the Belmont County "Children's Home Register, 1880-1947" on GR 3903. There was no indication in what newspaper it originally appeared in. It is rather long so I'll send it through in sections. It is typed as it appeared in print. I'll only add question marks (?) where it is very hard to read and I will have to guess on a letter or two. "UNCLE SAM'S PENSIONERS. Who Receive Pensions in Belmont County. The following is the list of those who received Pensions in Belmont county, on January 1, 1883, at which time the following list was made out. Quite a number have been allowed Pensions during the present year, whose names we have been unable to obtain. Many on this list have had the amount of their Pensions increased during the present year-all the $24 to $30, and some of the $18 to $24. The amount stated is the monthly allowance. The post-office address, and the cause for which pension was granted, is given: ALLEDONIA Margaret A. Moore, widow $12.00 ARMSTRONG'S MILLS Ruth Richardson, dep mother 8.00 Crawford E.
