Note: On Levi's Civil War veterans pension card, it states that on June 26, 1913, Rebecca remarried to Alexander McIntire and then she either remarried again in 1921 after the death of Alexander McIntire or she died. The data on the Remarried Widows card just has the date of the filing which is September 2, 1921 and no other information on the status of Rebecca, just that her status somehow changed in 1921.
