The case histories begin in 1924 and end in 1936 when the fund was exhausted and the committee disbanded.

A questionnaire which was completed by each widow to document names of relatives, debts, insurance, and property is also included. Many of these recipients also have official certificates of relief from the industrial commission. Finally, a history of the family was maintained by Annie Palmer, the social worker.
