I have given you the dates of our ages and death of my parents the best we have been able to obtain it from all sources. I know of nothing else that would benefit my Claim. I have understood your questions and my answers are correctly recorded in this deposition. I write my name, but could not go about to attend to this business and my husband has gone in my place and by my consent and direction signed the papers in place of me. lucinda F hale Formerly lucinda F Sasser
