State of Indiana County of Martin (no date given)
Pension claim no. 327216 of Julia A Bowman, mother of Pleasant Bowman
deceased late of Co K 49th Ind Inf vol.
Personally came before me a notary public in and for the
aforesaid county and state William J Thomas a citizen of Keck's Church in
the county of Martin 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 10 years
standing and has given medical advice and treatment to William H Bowman as
follows:
I first treated him July 30 1881 until August the 12,
1881. When he had an attack of Cerebro Spinal Meningitis and pneumonia. My
next treatment for him was April 25, 1882, he then had an attack of
remitent fever and albuminuria.
The next treatment that I was called to treat him was
Feb 10 1883 which was for another attack of remitent fever and lumbago. I
was called to treat him again Dec 10 1884 for intermitent fever. I see
William Bowman very frequently for the last five years on an average of
once a week and I believe that he is a constant sufferer of lumbago
judging from the many times that I have heard him complaining of said
disease.
I have no interest in the prosecution of this claim.
