Guardian Appointed When Father Was Alive

The next issue of Casefile Clues is off to be proofed.

Interesting little document transcribed from a Civil War pension file. In addition to the information the document contained, the apparent omission of the word "deceased" raised a few questions. At the time I made the draft of the article, I didn't know whether the omission was an error or not.

Now I do and, of course, there's a probable story behind it.
