Pension Index Card File, alphabetical; of the Veterans Administrative Contact and Administration Services, Admin. Operations Services, 1861-1934; Duff to A-J Duncan (negative FHL film 540,888, some cards very faint); Joseph Duncan to Dunn (positive FHL film 540,889, some cards very dark)
Cataloged under Civil War, 1861-1865, pensions, indexes; does not say if Confederate or Federal, but probably Federal. Negative film, some cards much too faint or dark to read, some cards blurred or faded, particularly the service unit and the dates of application. Most of the very faint or dark cards were in a slightly different format, with space for years enlisted and discharged which were sometimes filled in. Many of these were for service in later years, although one or two were for service ca 1866.
Name of soldier, alias, name of dependent widow or minor, service (military unit or units), date of filing, class (invalid or widow or minor or other), Application #, Certificate #, state from which filed (sometimes blank), attorney (sometimes blank, MAD: did not usually copy), remarks. Sometimes the "Invalid" or "Widow" class had an "s" added to it before the application #; occasionally the area for the service information included a circled "S". The minor's name was frequently that of the guardian rather than the minor.
The military unit was frequently the Company Letter, the Regiment Number, sometimes US Vet Vol Inf. (US Veteran Volunteer Infantry), L.A. (Light Artillery), H.A. (Heavy Artillery), US C Inf (US Colored? Infantry), Cav. (Cavalry), Mil. Guards, V.R.C. (?Volunteer Reserve Corps?), etc. Sometimes there were several service units given.
Cards appear to be arranged by the last name, first name, middle initial if any, and state (including "US") of service.

IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Phoenix, Arizona, January 1 - Wallace Duncan, a young tourist lately arrived from Minneapolis, was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary for forgery. Duncan has wealthy relatives in the east among them it is claimed General Lew Wallace. A strong effort was made on his behalf, the plea of insanity being especially advanced.
"The Edwardsville Intelligencer" Edwardsville [Madison Co.], Illinois, Wednesday, May 22, 1889 (transcription by and from Kathy Cawley 2/2004)
Foul Play Suspected.
MINNEAPOLIS [Hennepin Co.], MINN., May 15. -- The Journal's Pierre (D.T.) special says: The body of W.G. Duncan, who left Cheyenne agency two weeks ago in company with Arthur Redmond, en route for Pierre with a herd of horses, was found by some Indians near the Cheyenne agency. From marks on the body it is suspected that Duncan was murdered. He had a large sum of money when he left the agency. Redmond came to Fort Pierre with the stock, which he sold. He said he had heard bad news from his home in Oregon, and started for there. A large reward is offered for Redmond's arrest. Duncan was unknown here.
