FOR APPLICANTS HERETOFORE ALLOWED PENSIONS

State of Georgia
Schley County

Personally appears T.J. McGarrah of Schley County, State of Georgia, who, being 
duly sworn, says on oath that he is a bona fide citizen and resident of said 
county and state, and has resided in said State continuously ever since "all my 
life," 1836; that he is 75 years old and by occupation a farmer, that he 
enlisted in the military service of the Confederate States during the war 
between the states and served for the term of 4 years in Company G, of 59th 
Regiment of Ga. ; that his physical condition is as follows:

Old and infirm, unable to labor for a living.  Kidney trouble.

That his property consists of the following items:  00/100, of the value of "no 
property" dollars.  I am now earning, by my labor, "nothing" dollars per 
month.  That by reason of his physical condition and poverty he is unable to 
support himself by his own exertion or labor, and that he receives no pension 
but the one herein applied for.

Deponent desires to participate in the benefits of the Act approved Decembe 
15th, 1894, and the Acts amendatory thereof, and makes application for the 
pension to which he is entitled for the year 1905.  I have heretofore as a 
resident of Marion County been allowed a pension for the year 1904.

T.J. McGarrah (his mark)

Sworn to and subscribed before me, this the 11th day of January 1905.
