The State of Georgia first began giving pensions to maimed Confederate soldiers in 1877. The law was gradually broadened to include soldiers who were disabled due to their military service and indigent soldiers. Indigent widows of Confederate soldiers who died in service or as a result of that service began receiving pensions in 1890. Pension funds also paid for funeral expenses for indigent soldiers and widows.
