When in the winter of 1863 & 4 he contracted disease of liver celi Gastritus, constipation of bowels and piles from which he has never recovered and has been a sufferer therefrom ever since that by ?? thereof his general health was greatly impaired and ruined. I was never healed in Hospital after my release from the Rebels. That he has not been employed in the military or naval service otherwise than as stated above. Since leaving the service he has resided in Iowa and Kansas and his occupation has been that of a farmer. That prior to his entry into the service above named, he was a man of good, sound, physical health, being when enrolled a farmer. That he is now almost wholly disabled from obtaining his subsistence by manual labor by reason of his injuries above described, received in the service of the United States; and he therefore makes this declaration for the purpose of being placed on the invalid pension roll of the United States.
