Chap. 734.—An ACT for the relief of W. H. Vaughan, a wounded Confederate
soldier.

Approved March 3, 1898.

Whereas W. H. Vaughan, a wounded Confederate soldier of Company
Kk, thirty-fourth regiment of Virginia infantry, was a true and gallant
soldier during the whole war; was loyal to Virginia; and

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

Severely wounded during the war, and now unable to perform manual
labor: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Gloucester shall examine into the condition of the above-named
W. H. 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 suffering from his wound, and therefore incapacitated for manual
labor; that he is needy and poor, and should receive aid from Virginia,
and if the county court of Gloucester 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 W. H. Vaughan on the
pension list, and pay him annually 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.
