Davln in Boston, and continued t» cohabit with htm tfntil 1872 or 1873 when ho Married another woman. The Pension Bureau held' that the cohabitation of the parties constituted a marriage by the laws of of Massachusetts, and that on the date of Cot, Coopers death in 3865 she bad 1 ecome a married woman and never being his widow was not entitled to a pension.
