Chap. 1084.—An ACT for the relief of Louisa J. Barron, widow of a Confed-
erate soldier, of Wise county.

Approved March 7, 1900.

Whereas W. N. G. Barron, junior, a deceased Confederate soldier of
Virginia, a true and gallant soldier during the war between the states,

was loyal to Virginia, was a private in company A, fiftieth Virginia
infantry, in the Confederate service: and

Whereas he was desperately wounded through a lung at the battle of
the Wilderness in May, eighteen hundred and sixty-four, from which
wound he partially recovered, but suffered under great disability there-
from during the remainder of his life, and from which his death, which
occurred in eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, was hastened; and upon
his death he left a widow, Louisa J. Barron, who is still his widow,
residing in the county of Wise, without property and without means of
support, save from her own labor; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Wise county shall examine into the condition of the above
named Louisa J. Barron, the widow of the Confederate soldier, and
should it be that he was true and loyal to Virginia during the war, and
that she is now needy and poor and should receive aid from Virginia,
and the county court of Wise county shall send a certificate of the “facts
to the auditor of public accounts of Virginia, then the auditor of public
accounts is directed to place the name of Louisa J. Barron on the pension
list, and pay her annually the sum of thirty dollars on and after the first
day of April, nineteen hundred.
