Chap. 718.—An ACT for the relief of J. B. Vaughan.

Approved March 3, 1898.

Whereas J. B. Vaughan, a disabled Confederate soldier of Company
H, thirty-seventh regiment of Virginia cavalry, was a true and gallant
soldier during the late war; was loyal to Virginia; and

Whereas he is now suffering from the following ‘disability—to wit:

The entire loss of the functions of the left lung, resulting from disease
contracted while in the service, and which has rendered him as much
disabled for manual labor (his only means of support) as though he had
lost a limb: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Grayson shall examine into the condition of the above-named
J. B. Vaughan, a Confederate soldier; and should it be that he was true
and loyal to Virginia through the war, and that he is now afflicted and
incapacitated for manual labor by reason of said disease; that he is needy
and poor, and should receive aid from Virginia, and if county court of
Grayson should send a certificate of the facts to the auditor of public ac-
counts of Virginia, then the auditor of public accounts is directed to
place the name of J. B. Vaughan on the pension list, and pay him an-
nually the sum of fifteen dollars, on and after the first day of April,
eighteen hundred and ninety-eight.

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