      This Pension record contains several pages [59 in all] each of which are transcribed in their entirety (see Detail Text tab) :
      *There are many more pages contained in the original NARA file folder than I received when ordering the information from NARA back in 2004. Upon going to Footnote.com and checking their collections, I found the same Pension No. W23,355 which contained 59 pages, not 26 as originally thought. I include all 59 images from Footnote.com (Oct. 2007, greyscale) and the images I received from NARA (2004, black and white).
