List of Pensioners

Information provided for each individual on the pension list is: No. of Certificate Many of the "causes for which pensioned" use a variety of abbreviations, some of which are obvious and some that are not. I do not have a list of the abbreviations used, but a partial list that I have developed include the following:
This is only a partial listing. A full listing would be quite extensive. Also, a note about the "do" found in the "post office address" field and sometimes in other fields. Quite simply, this is a frequently used abbreviation of the time used as we would use "ditto" marks today. That is, a repeat of the information in the record above. I have also noted that there are numerous misspellings in the List. I have tried my best to reproduce the list as it was published -- so hopefully, all the misspellings are from the original list and not introduced from my transcription. Given that there are misspellings, I also believe that there are probably errors in numeric data as well. Blank fields in the list have been denoted by "--". This information was transcribed from a microfiche copy of the original book. Quite often I have had to make a judgment about a number -- was it an 8 or 3; 6 or 0, etc. Source: Microfiche of "List of Pensioners on the Roll January 1, 1883, from volume 3 for Iowa. Published by Government Printing Office, 1883.
