Morton, aged 48 years, makes the following declaration in order to obtain the pension provided by act of Congress, approved Jun 27, 1890: That she is the legal guardian of Allen A. Hall, who is at the present time an incompetent person which said disability to their best knowledge and belief is permanent in its character and renders the said ward partially helpless (mentally incompetent); that said ward is the legitimate child of Frank Hall.
