91st PA: pension index records--field and staff

[This is a transcription of some of the Veterans' Administration pension index cards, located on <www.ancestry.com>. Thanks to Dennis Clowney for finding many of them and giving me a copy! Some of the cards are hard to read--the dates of filing and the remarks at the bottom of the card are particularly likely to be illegible. I would also recommend not using the certificate numbers to send for pension files, because the numbers are often hard to read; you should check the image available on www.ancestry.com.]
[see also list of all pension index files]
[I have not yet found a card for Abraham Bancker (or Banker) or Charles Houghton ]
