1868 Republican Memorabilia

Additional treasures were found inside the box containing the bible as well as inside the bible itself.  We found a Republican ticket from 1868 for an Ohio Election along with documents regarding the election.  Talk about a history lesson coming to life.  I'm sure I read about our 18th president in history class.  I may have even reported on him once or twice but to find a republican ticket containing the name of a future president within family documents is a fantastic find.

In the picture above it indicates The Widows' Pension Bill passed February 2, 1886 increasing Widows' Pensions $8 to $12 per month, and it lists the number of votes from each party.
