William H Yarnall paid $10 to an attorney to process his claim to a US pension that a law just passed would allow. He was basing his claim to be declared a partial invalid
(unable to work). This would initiate a $17 monthly pension. His signature
is at the bottom of this document. According to this document, he was age 49 on
July 29, 1890. Since other records show he was born in 1840, he must have been
born after July 29, 1840.
