Henry Lightfoot Civil War Pension Records

The image depicts a handwritten document from Hancock County, Ohio, presenting a sworn statement by Henry Lightfoot, who appears before an authority to affirm his status as a pensioner of the United States. He confirms that he is enrolled at the Columbus Ohio Pension Agency, receiving $4 per month due to diseases contracted while serving in the military, specifically as a member of Company K, 21st Ohio Volunteer Infantry (OVI). The document states that Lightfoot believes he is entitled to an increase in pension due to his disability, including issues with his head and liver, which prevent him from performing manual labor. Additionally, he appoints J.H. Beller as his attorney to pursue his claim. Witnesses Isaac Hershey and George Fenstermaker also appear.
