 | | I, Robert J. Branson, Clerk of the County Court of said County, and Keeper of the Records and Files pertaining to Marriages, do hereby certify that MR. |
 | | Cavalry, and whose postoffice address you give as R. No 4, Xenia, Illinois, I have the honor to advise you that he is pensioned under the act of February 6, 1907, at the rate of $15 per month, certificate for which was issued April 29, 1910. |
 | | He was formerly pensioned under the general law for (illegible) diarrhea and resulting disease of the rectum, and in 1910, his claim for renewal and increase of pension was rejected on the ground that the rate in excess of $12 per month was not warrented by the degree of disability from pensioned cause. |
