In Response To: bounty money (LaVonne Aldag)

I think this involved money soldiers received for service in the armed forces. See the included references I found. My guess is that he wanted to pass this money to his granddaughter if he did not survive until he received the money, such as getting killed while in the service. It looks like this was discontinued in the late 1870's.
