The image is a scanned document from 1884 related to a pension claim for a person named John H. Copus, detailing his military service. It’s set in Wood County, Ohio, and includes handwritten answers to questions about his personal details and medical condition. Copus, a farmer from North Baltimore, Ohio, describes his physical health before and after his military enlistment in 1861, stating he was "sound and able-bodied." He reports no history of chronic diarrhea, piles, or deafness prior to his enlistment but states he contracted such disabilities during service at Hazel Green, KY, in October 1861. The document is signed by Harry Plathen, suggesting official verification.
