Application of Soldier, Sailor,  or Marine,  who  is  on the Pension Rolls 
   of Virginia, classed as partialy disabled, to be rerated and placed 
      on said Rolls under the class of totally disabled pensioners. 
                                   __________ 
   I, <T L [Cralle]>, who am now on the pension rolls of Virginia, as a 
resident of the <County> of <[Appomattox]> and classed on said rolls as 
partially disabled, do hereby apply to be rerated and placed on said rolls as 
totally disabled; and I do solemnly swear that since I was placed on said 
rolls I have become totally disabled by disease (here state the nature of the 
disease) <Effects of fractured leg & infirm[ities of age]> 
and that I am now permanently disabled from following any occupation for a 
livelihood (in case the total disability is caused by the infirmities of age, 
strike out all relating to disability by disease, and proceed as follows) and 
that such total disability is the result of infirmities of age, which perma- 
nently disable me from following any occupation for a livelihood, and that by 
reason of such total disability I am now entitled to receive the sum of 
<Thirty[?]> dollars annually. 
   Witness my hand this <2.d>, day of <April> 19<[07]> 
                                                       <T.L. Cralle> 

   I, <J.R. Horsley>, <Clerk of the Cty [??]>, in and for the <County> 
of <App[omattox]>, in the State of Virginia, do certify that <[T.L. Cralle]>, 
whose name is signed to the foregoing application, personally appeared before 
me in my <County> aforesaid and having the aforesaid application read to him 
and fully explained, as well as the statements and answers therein made, the 
said <[T.L. Cralle]> made oath before me that the said statements and answers 
are true. 
    Given under my hand this <2.d> day of <[April]>, 19<[07]>

acquainted with <T.L. Cralle> whose name is signed to the annexed application 
for rerating his pension under the act of the General Assembly of Virginia, 
approved December 31, 1903, and that from a personal examination of the said 
<T.L. Cralle>, as to the disability set forth in his application and the cause 
thereof, I am clearly of the opinion that he is disabled by reason of (here 
state specifically the nature of the disability and the cause thereof, and if 
such disability be total, whether the applicant is deprived thereby of all 
ability [clause underlined] to pursue his usual and ordinary occupation for a 
livelihood, or any other occupation for a livelihood, and if the disability be 
partial, to what extent the applicant is hindered thereby from pursuing such 
occupation as aforesaid)

 <the Applicant is deprived thereby of all ability to pursue his usual> 
 <and ordinary ["or any" inserted] occupation for a livelihood> 
and that I verily believe his disability is wholly due to causes assigned in 
the said application, and that he is entitled to aid under the provisions of 
the said act, and that I have no personal interest in the allowance of the 
applicant's claim. 
    Given under my hand, this <7.th[?]> day of <April>, 19<07>. 

                                                       <Jack B. Abbitt [?]> 


              Approval of Board of Commissioners of Pensions.
