soldier, of Greene county.
Approved March 7, 1900.
Whereas Henry Cox, a disabled Confederate soldier, is suffering from
wounds, and was a true and gallant soldier during the war, and was
loyal to Virginia; therefore,
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Greene shall examine into the condition of the above-named
Henry Cox, a Confederate soldier; and should it be found that he was
true and loyal to Virginia through the war, and that he is now afflicted
and disabled, and incapacitated for manual labor by reason of injury,
disease, or old age; that he is needy and poor, and should receive aid
from Virginia; and if the county court of Greene shall send a certificate
of fact to the auditor of public accounts in Virginia, then the auditor
of public accounts is directed to place the name of Henry Cox on the
pension list, and pay him annually the sum of fifteen dollars, on and
after the first day of April, nineteen hundred.
