Alva Simpson Wright Confederate Pension Application

[Nathanb1]

This is an application by Wright's widow, Mary Jane, for a pension totalling $300 per year. The application is after his death.

I haven't researched it yet, but I suspect the Rudders who testify are ancestors of Earl Rudder, hero of D-Day and future president of Texas A&M University, who was from Brady and coached here before WWII.
