Chap. 1122.—An ACT for the relief of Thomas Coleman, a wounded and needy
Confederate soldier.

Approved March 7, 1900.

Whereas Thomas Coleman, a native and resident of Orange county,
and a volunteer in company C, seventh Virginia infantry, was wounded
on the third day of July, eighteen hundred and sixty-three, in the
charge of Pickett’s division at Gettysburg, rendering him partially
unfit for manual labor, and on account of which he has been, and
is now, drawing a pension of fifteen dollars per annum as provided by
law; and

Whereas the said Thomas Coleman has now reached the age of
seventy-two years, has become very feeble, and totally unable to per-
form manual labor of any kind, and is entirely without means of sup-
port, being entirely dependant upon the charity of his neighbors; now,
therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
auditor of public accounts is “hereby authorized and directed to place
upon the pension rolls of this state the name of Thomas Coleman, and
to issue to him warrants from and after April first, nineteen hundred,
annually, for the sum of fifteen dollars in addition to those already
allowed him: provided, the said Thomas Coleman shall prove the fore-
going facts before the county court of Orange county, and obtain a
Certificate thereof from said court to the auditor of publie accounts.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
