Lancaster August 8. 1845
Mr. George Koopnoggle, late of this City deceased, was in his lifetime duly entered on the Pension Roll of the United States, at the rate of Eight Dollars per month, as per Certificate, dated 17 th Novmbr 1818 fully appears. This old soldier resided at that time, and soon to the period of his death, with his daughter and only child, Mrs. Getz of this place. He died as I am informed, on the 20 th day of August 1835. having previously drawn the Semi-annual payment due 4 th March 1835. From that day forward, until the time of his death, no payment has been made and the balance is still outstanding. The Pension Certificate is also still remaining in the hands of his daughter, Mrs. Getz. As this lady was in easy circumstances at the time she did not care to make application for the balance due, but having since become reduced in her pecuniary affairs, she is now desirous of receiving the same. This I presume may and can be done, but I am uninformed as to the manner and form of preparing the papers & vouchers. May I ask the favor, for you to transmit me the requisite instructions.
