Commissioner of Indian War Records Militia name list, i 1909-1918.

These documents at one time provided a name index to the payrolls of the territorial militia, giving document number and envelope number as filed by the Commissioner of Indian War Records (the Adjutant General of the National Guard) in the early 20th century. They were used to locate individuals on the payrolls for the purpose of validating pension claims to Indian War veterans. Documentation of service began in 1909 to validate federal pensions and continued through the 1917 creation of a state pension fund. Payrolls are no longer arranged by envelope number or that document number, so these reels no longer serve as an index. The do provide an alphabetical listing of names, each with the date(s) of the payroll(s) on which that individual appears.
