Chap. 1004.—An ACT for the relief of James R. Brown, a disabled Contederate
soldier of Albemarle county.

Approved March 4, 1898.

Whereas James R. Brown, a disabled Confederate soldier of Albemarle
county, while in active service with the Confederate army was, on the
third day of June, eighteen hundred and sixty-four, at the battle of Cold
Harbor shot through the upper right arm just below the shoulder joint;
and

Whereas by reason of said wound the doctora, in operating, found it
necessary to take out the shoulder joint and five inches of the bone
toward the elbow; and

Whereas by reason of this injury the elbow is perfectly stiff and the
whole arm perfectly loose and useless; and

Whereas said arm is of no more service than if amputated: now, there-
fore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That if said
James R. Brown shall produce to the auditor of public accounts of the
state of Virginia a certificate of the county court of Albemarle county of
the truth of the above statement of facts, said auditor is hereby em-
powered and directed to place said James R. Brown upon the pension
rolls, and to pay to him the sum of fifteen dollars per annum.

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