Pension claim no. 327216 of Julia A Bowman, mother of Pleasant Bowman

Personally came before me a notary public in and for the aforesaid county and state Barton Sears a citizen of Elnora Township in the county of Daviess and state of Indiana well known to me to be reputable and entitles to credit, and who being duly sworn, declares in relation to the aforesaid case as follows:

That he is a regular practicing physician of 32 years standing and has given medical advice and treatment to William H Bowman as follows:

he treated him for lumbago in 1864 in Sept, Oct and Nov in 1866, in July, Aug and Sept and again in 1868, and that he does not have the means of knowing his exact condition since he ceased to treat him, but that he was very badly afflicted at the time of treatment. During those years he was scarcely able to work any.
