A alderman (Patrick Graham) within and for the County and State

the war of the Rebellion, and served at least ninety days, and was 
honorably discharged at Lynchburg, VA, on the 8th day of July 
1865. That he is now unable to earn a support by reason of 
rupture, rheumatism, great pain which I think originates from the 
rupture, a great many troubles I can?t name. I can?t do any labour 
without pain.That said disabilities are not due to vicious habits, 
and are, to the best of his knowledge and belief, permanent. That 
he has not applied for pension under application No.________. That 
he has not been in U.S. Service in either army or navy since the 
8th day of July 1865. That he makes this declaration for the
