On this 21 day of March AD 1890 personally appeared before me aJustice of the peace in and for said county and state Cassandra WWhitehead claimant, who being duly sworn according to law upon her oathdeposes as follows to wit.
In 1862 I resided in Perry County in the State of Indiana, in the vicintyof the town of Rome. My post office address was at that time and is atthe present time Rome, Perry County, Indiana.
In 1862 the members of my family and their ages were as follows
Isaac Whitehead my husband was 46 years of age in 1862. He was unable todo manual labor of any consequence. He had been physically weak forseveral years, and continued so up to his death which occurred November18th 1883.
His disability {inserted} in 1862 and for some years there after was soreeyes {end insertion} consisted mainly of Stricture of the Urethrea. Hewas not able to make a living at his trade (Plastering) and was not ableto tend his land.
{Page 17:}
The other members of my family and ages in 1862 were as follows -
Alfred D. Whitehead was 22 years old.
Sarah E " " 18 " ".
Israel L " " 13 " ".
Chas. N. " " 10 " ".
Preston E. " " 9 " " .
Louis C. " " 5 " ".
Nora G. " " 2 " " .
My second son Israel L. was a cripple from his ninth year. {marked out:all his life}
In 1862 I had a son William A. he was at that time married and doing forhimself and enlisted in the war at the same time, with my son Alfred D.Since 1888 the following members of my family are still living.
William A. aged 48 years and living in Kentury trying to support hisfamily.
Sarah E. aged 46 years, long since married.
Israel L. aged 41 years, a cripple and trying to support his own family.
Charles N. aged 38 years unmarried and living away from me. {marked out:long since married}
Preston E. aged 37 years, marreid now a widower and now
{Page 18:}
living with me. {marked out:living with his family}
Louis C. aged 30 years who married some time ago.
Nora G. aged 30 years and who has been married for some time.
Evert aged 27 years who has been married for some time.
Thus leaving me entirely alone, except my youngest son and Edgar P. atpresent living with me and his family are now living with me, but theyexpect to leave me so to work for their support, and I will live aboutamong my children the best I can - until death takes me away.
My son Alfred D. was never married, hence he left no widow or child orchildren behind him when he died in the army.
In 1862 my husband owned 313 acres of land valued at about $4.26 per acre- and the whole lot had but $370 improvement on it. I do not now rememberthe value of our personal property at that time, but it was not much,just about what we could barely make out with.
{Page 19:}
The land in character was very {illegible} - situate back from the OhioRiver, away from the botom land - part of the land consisted of hills,and part of a wet creek botom, none of which was first class productiveland - and in 1862 there was a school fund mortgage of $300 on said land.
After which we had to sell part of the land to aid us in paying off theincumbrance.
Since 1888, I have left me a third interest in 108 acres, valued in allat $325, with $75 worth of improvement on same - and I have no personalproperty worth mentioning.
In 1862 my husband had no regular income, he made what he was able to byplastering when he was able to work, and when he could get a job to do,but his income from all sources, was not sufficient to pay his, mine, andour family's doctors and store bills and my son Alfred cultivated theland. We had at time avout 40 acres under cultivation.
{Page 20:}
What my husbands work, and income lacked to support us was supplied bythe work and labor of my son Alfred D. as he was a good boy and workeddilligently on the farm to aid in my support, until he was taken awayfrom me by the war.
Since 1888 I have made my support with what I can make out of my onethird of the little farm we have left us, and through the aid of my sonsand daughters, and their husbands and wives.
I have not re-married since the death of my said husband, but haveremained his widow.
