To the Auditor of the State of North Carolina:

     We certify that we have carefully examined the application of         Elizabeth. Webster

who  enlisted in Company         G.     8    Regiment, North Carolina State Troops, for a pension
under the provisions of an act entitled "An Act to amend and consolidate the pension laws of the State of North
Carolina, for the relief of certain Confederate Soldiers, Sailors, and Widows," ratified March 8,1921, and
the proofs filed in support thereof; that we are satisfied that the said        Elizabeth   Webster                                    
is the widow of the late             Chas F.  Webster                 who enlisted in Company
     ,                   Regiment of North Carolina State Troops, on or about the                  day of                  
186   . We certify the following allegations set forth in her application to be true, namely: That she is now
a widow; that she is, and has been for twelve months immediately preceding this Application for Pension, a
bona fide resident of North Carolina; that she holds no office under the United States, or under any State or
County, from which she is receiving the sum of three hundred dollars as fees or as salary annually; that she
is not worth in her own right, or the right of her late husband; property at its assessed value for taxation to
the amount of two thousand dollars ($2,000),  nor has she disposed of property of such value by gift or vol-
untary conveyance since the 11th of March, 1885, and therefore her application is correct and just under
the act.
