pension No. 270.987 who after being duly sworn saith his place of
residence is Springhill township, Greene county, Penna.
His occupation for five years preceding his enlistment was the first
two years of the five was engaged in the carpenter trade, next
two years and half farming next six months attending college.
Immediately after his discharge he was engaged in the mercantile
business two years (which ended July A.D. 1867). He was engaged
in farming up to late in the fall of A.D. 1871. When he drove hac?
About one year A.D. 1878 Since then he has been living on a farm.
Had the overseeing and managing of the same to the present time
June the 28th 1879. He was captured on the 19th day of August 1864
at Yellow Tavern Welden Rail Road, Va and was taken to Richmond.

any attacks of acute disease since the incurrence of his disability.
He has not performed but little manual labor from the date of

Sworn and subscribed to before me this 28th day of June A.D. 1879.
I hereby certify that the content of the above declaration were fully
made known and explained to the applicant before swearing and I
have no interest either direct
or indirect in the prosecution of this claim and certify that my
official character is certified to by the clerk of the court of Quarter
Sessions in Greene county, Pa. and on file in the office of the
Commissioner of Pensioner with my hand and seal.

James Stilers, JP
of Pensioners,
Washington, D.C.

Sir:
I have the honor to submit hencewith deposition of A. Jackson Bisset,
late private Co. H. 191st Pa. Vols, pensioner under Cert. No. 206, 126,
payable at the Pittsburg Agency, in which he states that he
contracted to pay Frances Barger, of Deep Valley, Greene Co., Pa- a
fee of $50 for prosecuting his claim before the Pension Bureaus;
and, did pay him the sum of $15 declining to pay him the $50 because
Barger did not fully comply with his part of the contract.
He says Barger insisted upon his paying
the $50 fee, telling him that he (Barger) "was the bee that made the
honey" and threatening that unless the fee was fully paid the claim
would be reported to the Department of Fraudulent. Under this
threat- I leave Barger has succeeded in extorting money from
various pensioners with illegal fees. There was no one present
when
the fee contract
for $50 between Barger and pensioner was made nor was there
anyone present when the pensioner paid the $15 or when Barger
demanded the other $34. The pensioner stands well in this
community and his oath would be entitled to full weight in a court
of justice as I am reliably informed. Barger saw this man and tried
to induce him to "not give him away," or, like words, he wanted him
to swear a lie provided I should hear of the matter and call upon
him to testify as to the legality of the fee demanded and received.
It is true, he only received but $15 but there is an aggravated
demand for $50 and threats to report the claim if it was not paid.
I am of the opinion that although he only got $15 rather than the
legal fee the demand was so aggravated that he should be
prosecuted under Sec. 5385. However, I submit to the supervising
Examiner as to what shall be done.

Respectfully,
L. C. Keener

Sir
In answering your letter of Jan. 29, first I would like to state that my memory will nor
permit me to state accurately all the information you desire and I am physically and
financially unable to travel around to the places where I might possibly get all the
facts relative to what you spoke of in your letter.

But in the following I will as near as my memory will permit answer all that I can.

During June 1850 I was living with my parents Brice Bissett father, Bythenia Bissett stepmother
("My Mother, Rachael Bissett being dead")
at Springhill township ("formally Leppo Township")
Greene county, Pennsylvania. New Freeport was our Post Office.

The names of my Sisters and Brothers are as follows
Sarah, Susan, Rachael, Cynthia,
Mary and John, all dead. Thomas Bissett, half-brother and Margeret Hineman half-sister, Littleton, WVa.

During June of 1860 I was working and living with Judge James L. Lindsay at Waynesburg,
Greene county, Pennsylvania where I stayed until my enlistment. I do not remember the streets, ward, or township.

I was born December 6, 1838 in Springhill township ("formally Leppo township")
Green county, Pennsylvania.

The above is as near correct as lapse of time and the physically condition of mind will permit.

I only wish I was able to write you everything accurately.
I would gladly do so.

Very Respectfully
A. Jackson Bissett
