Declaration for Re-Rating of an Invalid Pension.
State of Ohio, County of Stark, SS:

Stokey aged fifty-five years a resident of Canton County of Stark State of Ohio, who, being duly sworn according to law, declares that he is a pensioner of the United States, enrolled at the Columbus O Pension Agency at the rate of Eight dollars per month, Certificate No. 981343 ; by reason of disability from ulceration of bowels, stomach trouble and liver complaint based upon his service in the military service of the United States as a Private in Company H 195 OVI
That he believes himself to be entitled to a re-rating, as the rate originally allowed him was too low and not commensurate with the extent of his disability, nor in proportion to the rate allowed to other similar and equivalent disabilities.
That his physical disability is substantially total resulting from bowel trouble and has greatly increased since his examination and is now and for some time has been such as to wholly prostrate him and prevent his doing anything + He believes himself justly entitled to the highest rate allowed und the act of June 30. 1890 and he hereby applies for reexamination and a rerating and an allowance of pension commensurate to his actual disability.
that he hereby appoints, with full power of substitution and revocation, James J Clark of Canton Ohio his true and lawful attorney, to prosecute his claim.
