This paper is from the Civil War Pension File of my third great-grandfather. It is dated over four months after his death. He had qualified for a Civil War Pension by serving in the Union Army in Company I of the 215 Pennsylvania Infantry for a short time at the end of the war.
Following his death, my third great-grandmother had to legally file to receive his pension. Her attorney was W. V. Sickel, an attorney in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who specialized in pensions.
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.
