Chap. 1378.—An ACT for the relief of Daniel L. Blair, a Confederate soldier

Approved March 7, 1900.

Whereas Daniel L. Blair, a wounded Confederate soldier of company
, fifty-first regiment of Virginia infantry, was a true and gallant
soldier during the war; was loyal to Virginia and the Confederate
states; and

Whereas he is now suffering from the following disabilities—to wit:
Two wounds received in action during the late war at Favette court-
house, September tenth, eighteen hundred and sixty-two; the first
wound resulting in the entire destruction of the right eve, and its evil
consequences. In the second wound the ball passed through the right
tibia, about four inches below the knee joint, and still remains in the
limb; both wounds being very exhausting in their influences, and pro-

ducing such total disability as wholly incapacitates him from manual
labor; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Pulaski county shall examine into the condition of the above-
named Daniel L. Blair, 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 disabled by his wounds, as above set forth, and wholly in-
capacitated thereby for manual labor; that he is needy and poor, and
should receive aid from the state of Virginia; and if the county court
of Pulaski county 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 Daniel L. Blair on the pension list, and
pay him annually the sum of fifteen dollars on and after the first day
of April, nineteen hundred.

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