Whereas Wilham H. Wickline, a wounded Confederate soldier of
Company Kk, forty-sixth 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:

A severe wound in the upper part of the left arm, near the shoulder
joint, also in the left hand, losing a thumb: therefore,
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Giles shall examine into the condition of the above-named Wil-
liam H. Wickline, a Confederate soldier; and should it be that he was
true and loyal to Virginia through the war, and that he is now afllicted,
and wounded as above stated and incapacitated thereby for manual
labor; that he is needy and poor, and should receive aid from Virginia,
and if county court of Giles should send a certificate of the facts to the
auditor of public accounts of Virginia, then the auditor of public ac-
counts is directed to place the name of Willian Hl. Wickline 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.
