The widow of any retired member of such police department, who was married to her
deceased husband before the date of his retirement and before he reached the age of
50 years, shall, if he paid into the fund the full amount of his annual assessments
or contributions and continued so to do after his retirement until his death, which
death shall have been from causes other than injuries received in the performance
of duty, receive a pension equal to one-half of the pay of her deceased husband at

who have not attained the age of 16 years; if there be only two such children, they
shall be paid $20.00 each monthly; and if only one such child, he shall be paid $25.00
monthly, until the age of 16 years is reached. If there is no widow and no child under 16 years of age, the pension shall be paid
to the sole dependent parent of the deceased member. All retirements hereunder shall be made and pensions allowed by the pension commission
hereinafter created.
