January 8, 1931. - - Committed to the Committee of the Whole House and ordered to be printed. Date: 1931-01-08; Publication: Serial Set Vol. No. 9331, Session Vol. No. A; Report: H. Rpt. 2194, page 98. H. R. 14471. Hannah C. Shiverdecker, aged 72 years, whose post-office address is Versailles, Ohio, is the widow of David W. C. Shiverdecker, late a private, Company M, Eighth Regiment Ohio Cavalry, from February 23, 1864, to July 30, 1865, and who died September 7, 1915. Applicant and the late soldier were married October 19, 1901. She is now pensioned as the soldier's widow at the rate of $40 per month under certificate No.840259. The medical evidence filed in support of this bill indicates applicant is in condition to require the regular aid and attendance of another person, by reason of affliction from organic disease of heart, edema of ankles, and attacks of angina pectoris. The evidence also shows that she has a residence property valued at $1,200, encumbered in the sum of $800. It does not appear she has other means or income from any source except her pension. No one is legally bound to her support. It is recommended her pension be increased to $50 per month.
