On April 16th, 1890, I went to Baltimore and met with J.E.S. Cory, a Special Examiner of the Pension Office and gave this deposition:
I am 49 years of age Residence, Fulton, Howard County, Maryland farm. I enliste dAugust 18, 1862 in Company F, 8th Maryland Infantry and served in that organization until May 31, 1865 and was paid off a Woodberry in Baltimore on June 13, 1865.
In 1859, I lived in Baltimore City on Lexington St. near Freemont. In 1860 until enlistment, I lived in Howard County near Ellicott City on the new cut road to Waterloo about 5 miles from Ellicott City. I lived with my brother-in-law, Henry Schmeltz who lives there now.
I was examined at the enlistment by the Regimental Surgeon and passed for sound man. I had never been sick or injured in any way prior to my enlistment. I now claim pension for rheumantism, asthma, or disease of heart, and effects of typhoid fever, shortness of breath, contracted in the service. One month after I was mustered into the Army while in camp with my company near Druid Hill Park, I was taken sick with, according to the bed chart on my cot, Typhoid Fever. I was treated by Surgeon A.A. White in camp and then by him sent to the Camden St. Hospital, in Baltimore. I was in that hospital until sometime in January 1863, and from this hospital, I was sent to a convalescent camp in Alexandria, VA where I remained until about August 1863 when I rejoined my regiment at Rappahannock Station, VA.
I first realized that I had asthma and was very short breathed after I joined my regiment in 1863, this I have since ascertained was due to disease of the heart. After joining my regiment in 1863, I suffered with pains in my chest and back, and was short of breath, these afflictions were so severe that I never could keep up with my command on any of its marches. I had to fall out of rank and lie down and then get to camp as best I could. I was not in any hospital after August 1863, but was treated off and on by the regimental surgeon, Dr. Wheeler of Boonsborough, MD.
The reason I was sent to convalescent camp was that I was so weak from typhoid fever that I was good for nothing and this was the reason I was kept there so long. I had no sickness while at convalescent camp, only was weak. I did not, according to my recollection, suffer with erysipelas while at convalescent camp in 1863. I left my regiment and went to the hospital about one month after enlistment, sick with typhoid fever, and did not recover from the effects of said fever sufficiently to warrant joining my regiment until some time in August 1863. I remember seeing and reading my bed card which said "Typhoid Fever".
I lived with my brother at Oakland, Howard Count, MD from discharge til October 1866. Since October 1866 and to date, I have lived at Fulton, Howard County, MD. Have not incurred any injury since discharge. I have suffered with rheumatism, asthma and have been short breathed continuously since discharge. Sometimes very bad, and then would be fairly well. I expect that the winesses who have testified for me will furnish sufficient information as to my case to fully prove my claim.
