A request for a Civil War Pension was filed under the name of William D. Breyfogle. The date on the form is not clear enough to determine if it was filed before or after his death. It appears to be July 25, 1865, which would 3-months follow his death making it a survivors benefit.

SOURCE: Civil War Pension Index date January, June, or July 25, 1865
