failed to fill out the blank properly, it was sent back for amendment, this 
held him off the pension roll for 1905; and,

WHEREAS, When this amendment was made and returned to the commissioner, it 
showed his condition to be such that he could not make a living by manual 
labor; so the commissioner returned it to the ordinary of Marion county, with 
the suggestion that the physician should also state that the applicant could 
not make a living in any other way than by manual labor; and, 
[Sidenote: Pension of J. H. Johnson.]

WHEREAS, The physician amended the application fully, showing applicant to be 
entitled to be enrolled, but said application was misplaced in some way by the 
ordinary, so that it reached the commissioner too late to be enrolled for 
1906; and,

WHEREAS, The said J. H. Johnson has now been fully approved and enrolled on 
the pension list for 1907; and,

WHEREAS, His failure to be enrolled for 1906 is due to no fault or condition 
of his, but to an oversight of the ordinary; and,

WHEREAS, The said J. H. Johnson is very old and feeble, being too weak to work 
or to earn a living in any way, having to be supported by charity; therefore,

Be it resolved by the General Assembly of Georgia, That a pension of sixty 
dollars be paid to the said J. H. Johnson for the year 1906, and that the 
Governor of this State be authorized to draw his warrant on the Treasurer of 
this State for the same.

Approval Date: Approved August 21, 1906.
