items. 


Atlanta Constitution: July 23, 1895; "Mr. Kilpatrick, age
105, applied for pension. Born in Washington County. Now
resident of Bartow."


Tuesday,  July 23, 1895;  The Constitution, Atlanta,
Georgia.



W. A. KILPATRICK, AGE 105 


A veteran who testifies that his age is 105 has applied
for a pension under the indigent pension act. He is W. A.
Kilpatrick and his home is in Bartow county.


In his affidavit accompanying his application, Mr.
Kilpatrick states that he was born in 1790 in Washington
county, Georgia. On the 4th of March, 1862, he
volunteered as a soldier of the confederacy, becoming a
member of Battery B, Ninth Georgia battalion of
artillery.  He served until fall of 1864.


The physicians testify that his health is fair, but that
owing to his extreme age he is unable to make a support
for himself. They say they are informed that he is 105
years old and his appearance seems to warrant the claim.
