What Files Make Up A1158?
A1158 is not a single set of cards with unique information; instead, it pulls data already found in other pension indexes and arranges it numerically, not alphabetically. It includes the following:
- Application Numbers from Civil War, Indian Wars, Spanish-American War, Philippine Insurrection, and other 19th-early 20th century conflicts.
- Certificate Numbers associated with granted pensions.
- It cross-references to pension file series indexed by:
- T288 (General Index to Pension Files)
- T289 (Organization Index to Pension Files)
- M850 (Remarried Widows)
- M1785 (Remarried Widows – Civil War onward)
