Approved March 7, 1900.

Whereas Garrett H. Amos, a disabled Confederate soldier of company
C, thirteenth regiment, Virginia infantry, was a true and gallant soldier
during the late (civil) war, was loyal to Virginia; and

Whereas he is now suffering from the following disability—to wit:
From a gun-shot wound received on the twenty-ninth day of August,
eighteen hundred and sixty-two, at the second battle of Manassas, in the
right arm, which shattered the bone: and

Whereas he is now old and poor and needy and incapable of support-
ing himself by labor; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Orange shall examine into the condition of the said Garrett H.
Amos, a Confederate soldier, and should it be that he was true and loyal
to Virginia through the war; and that he is now disabled and incapaci-
tated for manual labor; that he is poor and needy, and should receive aid
from Virginia, and if the county court of Orange should send a certificate
of the facts to the auditor of public accounts of Virginia, then the auditor
of public accounts is directed to place the name of Garrett H. Amos
on the pension list and pay him annually the sum of fifteen dollars on
and after the first day of April, nineteen hundred.

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