Chap. 1190.—An ACT for the relief of Robert B. Stratton, a blind Confederate
soldier, and to place him upon the pension rolls of this state.

Approved March 7, 1900.

Whereas Robert B. Stratton was a gallant Confederate soldier during
the late war between the states and was a member of the second Virginia
cavalry, and has been true and loyal to the state ever since, and is now
blind, and thus appeals to the sympathy of us all; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That upon proof
of these facts before the corporation court of Lynchburg, Virginia, and
the certificate of the judge thereof to the auditor of the state, that the
auditor of the state be directed, and is hereby authorized, to place Robert
B. Stratton upon the pension rolls of this state and pay him annually
the sum of fifteen dollars.

2. This act shall be in force on and after April first, nineteen hundred.
