No. 2562.
Mr. Faulkner, from the Committee of Pensions, submitted the following
REPORT:
The Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred the bill (H. E. 10101) granting a pension to Elizabeth Phillips, widow of Reuben Phillips, have examined the same and report:
Your committee adopt the report submitted by the Committee on Pensions of the House of Representatives, and recommend the passage of the bill.
The report of the House committee is as follows:
The applicant is the dependent widow of Reuben Phillips, deceased, who was killed in line of duty, and in an engagement with the enemy in Madison County, Ark., in 1864.
The soldier was a member of Captain Bevans's company, mounted infantry, Arkansas militia, which was organized by order of General Schofield. The proof is conclusive that the soldier was killed in battle with the rebels, and that the widow is still unmarried and dependent.
Your committee therefore recommend that the bill pass.
