How much would the payment be if adjusted for inflation?

I looked it up. The father passed away in 1938. Let's assume the daughter started getting her payments then. If adjusted for inflation, $73.13 would now be worth $1,248.12.

Holy cow!

My Revolutionary War 4x great grandfather was granted something like $1.50 a month in 1832 and a Civil War private was making $11.00 per month for his pay.

Thanks for the link info.

Alas, the calculator only goes back to 1913.
