This is the second index sheet that I have found in the Civil War Pension File of my paternal third great-grandfather. He qualified for a monthly pension from the United States Government because he served in Company I of the 215 Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry for a short time during the end of the Civil War. My third great-grandmother is also listed on this form, as she qualified for his pension after his death.
The first date listed is May 16, 1893, when he first applied for the Pension. It ends with a Certificate of Medical Examination on May 21, 1901.
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
