I found the file, here are any further tidbits I can find:
Victoria Heflick married 5 March 1868 in Putnam Co., Ohio by Dr. Springer, J.P.Frederick Sloop d. 3 July 1930 in Findlay, OH. Frederick b. Switzerland.Victoria Sloop lived on 150 George St., Findlay, OH when applying for the pension.
Children listed as:Levnidas? Sloop (Borne *can't tell if this is born or Borne a surname)17 May 1871, Emma Sloop Oct 24, 1875, Marie Sloop Nov 28, 1878, Fred Sloop, June 1st 1883, Margarett Sloop, June 10, 1885, Ruth Sloop Avery, Aug 17, 1887, Harriett Sloop (Cochran?) Aug 8, 1889, Ralph Sloop Oct 29, 1892.
Frederick served in Co. A, 114th Ohio Infantry.File states that Victoria was a Christian Scientist.
Frederick writes the Dept. of the Interior stating that he has been married for 46 yrs, but that his wife is abroad 2/3rds of the time.He states he has asked her to stay with him, but she has refused.Frederick questions the amount of his pension, and if he leaves his wife will he loose half to her?He is presently getting $30.00 and will be 71 soon.(11 Feb. 1915) He receives a response and is told that yes, he would loose half of his pension should he leave he wife if he was charged with desertion.He would need to file a formal claim to prove he had not left his wife.Frederick writes again in March 1915 and states that he would go to the Sandusky Soldier's home, but his wife says she will get half of his pension. A formal letter is sent to the Dept. of Interior stating he and his wife no longer co-habitat. Victoria Sloop, widow, receives pension after his death.She is mentioned only a few times by name in the file, and no other Heflicks are mentioned.Perhaps her family remained in Switzerland?
