Paper notice, measures 9”x 5.75.” Reads “Indian War Veterans or their widows. Who will be entitled to a pension under the Act passed March 4th, 1917, send name and address and get a copy of bill. Henry Hegwer- Pension claims agent." There is little wear on the notice, and a few small tears. The act that passed on March 4th 1917 was a pension for veterans of certain Indian Wars that took place from 1859 to 1891. It granted $20 each month to a surviving veteran, or $12 to their widows.
