In the month of October in the year of our Lord
1838 he was a regular Militiaman in the company
of Mounted Militia under the command of Capt.
Samuel Bogard of said county, that said Militia
were employed in the Service of the State in the
suppression of the Mormon disturbances, and
that in the battle which occured on the 25th day
of said month of October between said malitia
and the Mormons your petitioner received
so many and such serious wounds from the
hands of the enemy as to be thereby disabled fr-
om from effective manual labor, and that
there is now no reasonable hope that such dis
bility will or can be remedied. Your petitioner
further represents that he is near twenty-five
years of age, that he is poor and that he has a
family which as well as himself depends upon
his labor for support. Your petitioner there-
fore prays that an act maybe passed for his benefit
granting him a pension during his life or during
the continuance of his disability and your
petitioner will pray &c.
