Civil War State Pension for Mainers

Did you know some Civil War Soldiers were eligible for both Federal and State Pensions for their service.

Maine is one of those states, so if you are researching your ancestor be sure to look for both.

 See below from the Law that put the pensions into effect.  This book can be found on Google Books for free.

The Revised Statutes of the State of Maine, Passed September 29, 1916, and Taking Effect 

 January 1, 1917
