Chap. 816.—An ACT to authorize Alfred Oury, of Wythe county, to be placed
on the pension list.

Approved March 4, 1896.

Whereas Alfred Oury, a Confederate soldier (a member of the
Stonewall brigade and also a courier for General J. E. B. Stuart), of
Wythe county, Virginia, is alleged to be totally disabled by reason
of chronic rheumatism, brought on by long and continuous exposure
while serving in the army of northern Virginia, and is therefore
unable to perform any kind of manual labor in support of himself
and family, and is now bedridden and unable to walk; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That if it
shall be proved before the county court of Wythe county and so cer-
tified to by the auditor of public accounts that the said Alfred Oury’s
disability from the cause aforesaid is total and equal to the loss of
a limb and that he has no means of support for himself and family,
then the auditor is directed to list him for a pension of thirty
dollars. ]

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