ACTS AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE
OF GEORGIA 1907
1907 VOL. 1 page 1008
A resolution to pay a pension to Mrs. N. C. Prickett for
1907
WHEREAS, F. A. Prickett was on the indigent pension roll
of Banks county and drew his pension for 1906, then a resident of Jackson
County:
WHEREAS, Mrs. N. C. Prockett went before the ordinary of
Jackson County and made her application for the indigent pension allowed the
widow of a Confederate veteran who was himself a pensioner, and that the ordinary
in making the application and writing the testimony stated that her husband
was an indigent pensioner on the rolls of Jackson county when he died April
14, 1906; and
WHEREAS; The said F. A. Prickett has never been paid a pension
in Jackson county but was on the pension rolls of Banks county and was paid
his last pension in Banks county and not in Jackson county as was set out
in the application; and
WHEREAS, As soon as the cause was known why said disapproval
was made and that her husband was on the pension roll of Banks county and
not on the roll of Jackson county, when he died, the Commissioner of Pensions
revoked his order of disapproval and approved her application for the rolls
of 1908. This mistake as to the roll on which her husband last drew a pension
was not caused by any fault of hers, but had the ordinary of Jackson county
stated the fact correctly, as he should have done, she would have had her
application approved and received her pension for 1907;
Therefore be it resolved by the General Assembly of the State
of Georgia, That the sum of sixty dollars is hereby appropriated to be paid
to Mrs. N. C. Prickett, the pension she was justly entitled to and deprived
of by no fault of her own; and the the Governor be and he is hereby authorized
to draw his warrant on the treasury of the State for said amount to be paid
out of money therein to Mrs. N. C. Prickett, for the pension of 1907.
Approved August 22, 1907
