Blackmer deceased on account of whose death said application was made. That after the death of said Homer Blackmer his widow Marana Blackmer aforesaid was so poor she was unable to keep her children together and they worked out away from home and have to the present time. That about six years ago said William H. Blackmer worked for deponent six months in the summer season and his wages was ten dollars per month, as he believes.
