GENERAL AFFIDAVIT

State of Kentucky, County Greenup,ss:

In the matter of Pension Claim No. 533113 Abraham Dillow, Co A 5th VA Inft Vols, on this 21st day of March A.D. 1888 
personally appeared before me a Notary Public in and for the aforesaid County duly authorized to administer oaths, George 
Kouns aged 38 years, a resident of Greenup in the County of Greenup and State of Kentucky well known to me to be reputable 
and entitled to credit, and who being duly sworn declared in relation to aforesaid case as follows:
I was acquanted with Abraham Dillow from the spring of 1878 until the spring of 1884 and worked with him each year at farm 
labor and know from personal knowledge that said Dillow during the whole of said time was unable to perform hard labor and 
only did light work. He always complained of his back being afflicted and weak and every year he was at times unable to work 
at all, some time ten days at a time. When thus taken he would walk in a stooping position and used a cane and seemed to suffer 
great pain. He only received pay for actual work done by him. I have seen him attempt to do hard work and he would break 
down and he requested the foreman not to give him any hard work as he could not do it. In my judgement said Dillow was 
afflicted in the back as he claimed and totally disabled from hard manuel labor and at light work could do about one half of an 
ordinary man.
His Post Office address is Greenup C.H. Kentucky. I furher declare that I have no interest in said case and am not concerned in 
it its prosecution.
