Temperance

Temperance Altic may be a relative of mine, at least by marriage. This note from a court in Franklin County, Virginia, shows that Temperance Altic was awarded a monthly pension because she is the widow of one Abram Altic, a wounded Confederate soldier from the Civil War.


The archives have a similar court document regarding Temperance and her pension status, but this one tells the most information about Abram Altic, which isn't much. But considering how few Altics show up in history, we'll take what we can get.
