On this the 25th day of April 1891 personally appeared before me a Justice of the Peace in and for the state and county aforesaid Nancy Lickliter of Knox County, Ky., who being duly sworn according to law, declares her age is 77 years, that she is the widow of Elias Lickliter deceased, says she was married to Elias Lickliter in 1834 in the state of Tennessee Claiborne County, and lived together as husband and wife until the death of her husband which was 14 April 1888 and that she has remained single ever since his death. Claimant says John Brock was the minister who married claimant and Elias Lickliter, and that said Brock is dead. Claimant says she has tried to obtain record evidence of her marriage to Elias Lickliter but she can not do so owing to the fact the office containing the record at Tazwell the county seat of Claiborne County Tennessee was destroyed by fire in the time of the late war known as the War of the Rebellion and the minister being dead who solemnized the rites is the reason the claimant cannot obtain record evidence of her marriage to Elias Lickliter deceased. Claimant says her husband Elias Lickliter was not in the military or naval service of the U.S. since his discharge from Company �K� 3rd Kentucky Infantry. Allen Parker John Parker Sworn and subscribed before me this the 25 day of April 1891, and I hereby certify the contents of this affidavit was fully explained to the affiant before its execution, that affiant is credible, and that I have no interest, direct or indirect in the prosecution of this claim. |

I David H. Black clerk of the county court for the county and state aforesaid do certify that H. D. Davis is a Justice of the Peace for the county and state aforesaid duly commissioned and certified as such and that all his acts as such are entitled to due faith and notice Witness my hand this April 25th 1891. David H. Black, clerk Character: Original Pension Claim No. 207926 Elias Lickliter, Rank, Private Company K, 3rd Reg�t Ky Vols London Kentucky Post Office: Barbourville Ky Exam Date: May 12, 1886 We hereby certify that in compliance with the requirements of law, we have carefully examined this applicant, who states he is suffering from the following disability, incurred in the service, viz: Disease of Kidneys and sores on legs Pulse: 60 Respiration: 24 Temperature: 98.5 Height: 6 feet _ inch Weight: 160 Age:72 years He makes the following statement upon which he bases his claim for Original Pension: That at Tuscoumbia Ala in 1862 he contracted disease of the kidneys and was for about a month not able to get right when he was down, and that after he got home he was not able to make a fire and that he has not been able to do any work on account of his leg since he came out of the service, that his leg got sore before he was troubled with kidney disease. Upon examination, we find the following objective conditions: We find on the right leg between the ankle and knee deep, badly formed excavated granulation exuding a thin lancious puss having hard elevated callous edges presenting an irregular rugged look. See mark on diagram. This we believe to be indolent ulcers. We believe this disability is greater than ------and that he is entitled for this to 17/18 of 3rd grade. We find the sounds of the heart and lungs normal. We find the stomach, liver, spleen, and kidneys normal. We believe he is 17/18 disabled from the performance of manual labor. Specific gravity of urine 1019 acid, no albuman, no sugar. From the existing condition and the history of this claimant, as stated by himself, it is, in our judgement probable that disability was incurred in the service as he claims, and that it has not been prolonged or aggravated by vicious habits. He is, in our opinion, entitled to a 17/18 of 3rd grade rating for the disability caused by indolent ulcers. M. Scales F. P. Caldwell H. S. Pittman *Elias died as a result of blood poisoning from an infection of the indolent ulcer described in this medical report. |
