We sent to the War Dept. and all we got was that he enlisted in Connecticut and drew a pension. I was going to write to Hartford Conn. and try and find the number of the Regiment which he was in when I saw this article. Another thing I saw was that "Pages of Bible Records" were there.

My mother told me that she remembered, that her Aunt Sophia Her daughter of Joel Little who left a widow with a large family and one of the things she did was to cut the Pages out of the family Bible and sent to Washington, hoping she might get her father's Pension. I wish it be possible that some of those "Pages" mentioned could have been our family Reuel. My Great Grandmother was Clarissa Clark, daughter of
