Pvt. Jose Rock's widow Annie Procell appears before the Justice of the Peace "saying she is the widow of Hosea Rock late deceased a private in Co. B Elams Guards, 28th Regt La Vols stationed at Vicksburg." Farther down we read "...this application is made to enable her to obtain from the government what may be due to her as the widow of the said deceased." She made her mark or signed. The application was dated 24 Oct 1862.
