Worked as a carpenter for Alexander Crosson & Jacob Supinger

I am 73 in Nov., a carpenter by trade, but I am not able to follow it.
I enlisted about October 1862 in Co. C, 110 O.V.I. and was discharged June 1865, private and corporal...............

I enlisted at South Charleston, Clark Co., O. tho I lived at Butlerville, Warren Co., O. I was born and reared at So. Charleston. I left there when I was 21 years old, and had been at Butlerville about 3 years when I enlisted I was then an able bodied man able for any kind of work at my trade, which I learned when I was 16 years old. I was married and living in a home of my own. We then had two children. Dr. Ludlum was my family physician, but I can't tell where he is, or if living........

I am now pensioned at $12 per month under the act of June 27, 1890, on account of rheumatism, disease of rectum, and disease of nervous system the result of sunstroke.
I had made application under the general law for pension on account of diarrhea and resulting piles and fistula in anus, also sunstroke and resulting affliction of head, vertigo, affliction of eyes, also lumbago, or rheumatism, and disease of heart, all of them contacted in the army and developed before discharge except the fistula in anus which came on later I claim as a result of the diarrhea and piles.
The diarrhea was the first disability. I first noticed this in 1863 about Winchester Va. This was along in the summer but I cannot give the month. I continued to do duty with the company and treated myself with tea from blackberry roots. This took a more serious form in 1864 and I was treated much from the doctor. I did not go to the hospital, but attended sick call. I was at time excused from duty, but remained with my company. My brother, Joseph F., also had the same disability and died from it while on furlough.......

The fistula came along in the 70's. I cannot recall the exact year. later on I had an operation for that. The next disability I had in service was the sunstroke which I incurred at or on the march about August, 1864. I think near Petersburg Va. We were on a forced march and the weather was intensely hot and while resting I was overcome with the heat and fell over unconscious. Comrade Pierce had just handed me an apple and as I raised it to my mouth I fell over The doctor was called and I was told he gave me whiskey and called an ambulance and I was hauled along and the next day I went back to my company.......

I was discharged with the company and came home to Butlerville to my family, who lived in town. the comrades who have testified in my case know of my disabilities and their origin in service and I was a sound man on enlistment.
my messmate was Benjamin Sweet,since dead. Wilhide, Scheet, Weicks(?), and Pierce were tent mates......

I livrd in Butlerville about 8 years and moved here(Blanchester), in the Fall of 73. I worked for one man here for 30 years, Alexander Crosson.....

I have been married three times. First in 1854, March 25, with Becky S. Hedges at Urbana, Champaign Co., O. of which there is a record at Urbana. We went to Illinois and my wife died in Lincoln, Logan co., leaving one child who died at the age of 22. She died March, 1856. there is probably a record of that at Lincoln Ill.
I next was married in Lincoln, Ill. with Kathie E. Starkey in the later part of 1857; by her I had three children of whom two are living. This wife died July 15, 1868 at Butlerville, O. and there is probably a record of her death at Lebanon, O. I next was married with Hanna M. Meyer on Jan. 20, 1870. Her maiden name was Dudley; by her I had one child, now dead. She had been married once before ( Francis Myer), as I was informed and her husband died in service. Neither of us has been divorced from the other and she still lives with me as my wife....
