A state law enacted December
24, 1887, permitted financially needy Confederate veterans and
widows to apply for a pension; however, few applications survive from
the 1888-1918 era.
Beginning in 1889,
the SC Comptroller began publishing lists of such veterans receiving
pensions in his Annual Report. From 1919 to 1925, SC granted
pensions to Conf. veterans and widows regardless of financial need.
These files are arranged alphabetically. Pension application files are
typically one sheet of paper with writing on both sides. Also available
are Confed-erate Home applications and inmate records for veterans (1909-1957),
and applications of wives, widows, sisters, and daughters (1925-1955)
