• Notes

  New Egypt Press, Burlin Co, NJ - 12 Nov 1909 MARY WINDER Bending over her washtub yesterday, Uncle Sam brought to Mrs. Mary Winder of Florence, the happiest moments of her life. It was pension day and there came in the mail a check from the government for $980 back pension and a grant of $16 a month. Mrs. Winder is a hard-working colored woman over 70 years of age. She is the widow of James Winder, who was the captain of a colored regiment during the Civil War, and who died in Atlantic City seven years ago. In all this time she has been trying to get a widow's pension, and finally succeeded, chiefly through Congressman John J. Gardner's efforts.
