Chap. 710.—An ACT for the relief of Mrs. Martha Brockman, of Greene county,
the widow of a Confederate soldier.

Approved March 3, 1898.

Whereas Bistly Brockman, a soldier in the Confederate service, a
member of Company ‘‘ Is,’’ nineteenth Virginia infantry, was wounded
in the temple at the battle of Manassas, August thirtieth, eighteen hun-
dred and sixty-two, from the effects of which wound he died, but not
till shortly after the surrender.

And whereas his widow, Martha Brockman, of Greene county, is, by
reason of his death occurring after the surrender, disbarred from the re-
lief provided by law for the widows of soldiers killed during the war,
though her husband received his death wound in battle: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That if Mistress
Martha Brockman shall produce to the auditor of public accounts a cer-
tificate of the county court of Greene county to the truth of the facts set
forth above, said auditor of public accounts is hereby authorized and
directed to place the name of Mistress Martha Brockman upon the pension
rolls and pay her the sum of fifteen dollars per annum.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
