Pension question

I have a certificate from the Department of the Interior dated October 1886 that granted a pension to my g-g-grandmother. In looking at this recently, I suddenly questioned why she would have been allowed a pension. Her husband would have been too old to serve in the war, however two sons had served, and one had died during the war. Would a pension have been paid to the mother of a solder killed during the war?
