     STATE OF Nebraska County of Richardson ss.
     On THIS 17th day of July A.D. one thousand eight hundred and ninety, 
personally appeared before me J. L. Dalbey of Stella, Nebraska a Notary 
Public within and for the county and State aforesaid Jacob Pritts aged 48 
years, who, bing duly swaorn according to law, declares that he is the
identical Jacob Pritts who was ENROLLED as a private on the 12 day of August
1862 in Company 'C' of the 142 Regiment of Pennsylvania Vol Infanty commanded
by John Boyds and was honorably DISCHARGED at Baltimore, Md on the 24th day
of August, 1865; that his personal description is as follows:  age 48 years;
height 5 feet 11 inches; complexion dark; hair light; eyes grey.  That he
is now suffering from a physical disability of a permanent character, not the
result of his own vicious habits, which incapacitates him from the
performance of manual labor in such a degree as to render him unable to earn
a support from Kidney complaint as general disability.
He therefore makes this declaration for the purpose of being placed on the 
dependent pension roll of the United States.  He hereby appoints, with full 
power of substitution and revocation, Hubbard & Case of Albany, Mo., his true
and lawful attorney to prosecute his claim.  That he has received a pension 
No 114.822; that his residence in No. (blank)_______ street (blank)_______
and that his postoffice address is Stella, Nebraska.

(signed) S. L. Mains                                  (Signature of Claimant)
(Two witnesses that can write sign here)
  
     Also, personally appeared Chas B. Derstine residing at Stella, Nebraska
and S. L. Mains residing at Stella, Nebraska persons whom I certify to be
respectable and entitled to credit, and who, being by me duly sworn, say that
they were present and saw Jacob Pritts the claimant sign his name (make his
mark) to the foregoing declatration; that they have every reason to believe
from the appearance of said claimant and their acquaintance with him, that
he is the identical person he represents himself to be; and that they have 
no interest in the prosecution of this claim.
                                               (signed) Chas. B. Derstine

     Sworn to and subscribed before me this 17th day of July A.D. 1890
          and I hereby certify that the contents of the above declaration,
          were fully made known and explained to the applicant and witnesses
          before swearing, including the words ______ erased, and the words

          in the prosecution of this claim.
