The Cherokee Advance  5 Feb 1886 P 3 February 5, 1886
A $901 Check
On March 16, 1865, Mr. George W. Ponder enlisted with Company B Sixth United 
States Regiment and served the army 18 months, or until June 18, 1866 when he 
was thrown off a wagon and the wheels passed over his foot disabling him for 
further service. Some time ago he made claim to the government for a pension, 
based upon the above facts.  His claim was recently allowed and a few days 
since a check for $901 was sent him, that being the amount due him from Nov. 4, 
1866 to Nov. 4, 1885.  His name has been entered upon the pension list and he 
will hereafter draw a pension of four dollars per month.  Mr. Ponder resides 
near Hickory Flat in this county and the reception of the check, and the news 
that his name had been entered on the pension roll was not only good to him, 
but all his neighbors as well.  The money will be scattered and do the county 
more or less good.
