Whereas Robert Wood was a gallant Confederate soldier of Virginia,
and was a true and gallant soldier during the war; was loyal to Vir-
ginia; and,

Whereas he died since the war, leaving a widow who is aged and
penniless; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
county court of Albemarle shall examine into the condition of the
above-named widow of said Robert Wood and should it be that he was
true and loval to Virginia through the war and died from injuries re-
ceived in the service, and that she is now penniless and should receive
aid from Virginia and if the county court of Albemarle county should
send to the auditor of public accounts a certificate that the above recited
facts are true, then the said auditor is directed to place the name of
Mistress Hattie Wood on the pension list and pay her annually the
sum of fifteen dollars, on and after the first day of April, nineteen
hundred.

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