     In the matter of original pension claim No. 1191088 of Robert McCammon, Co. D, 12th W. Va. Vols. Infty. on this 8th day of August, 1898; personally appeared before me a Notary Public in and for the aforesaid County duly authorized to administer oaths, Robert McCammom aged 54 years, a resident of Sandusky Township in the County of Crawford and State of Ohio whose post office address is Sulphur Springs, Ohio well known to me to be reputable and entitled to credit, and who, being duly sworn, declared in relation to aforesaid case as follows:

That I am the claimant herein named and that about two years since, while riding horseback after cattle my horse stopped suddenly and threw me forward on the horn of the saddle and hurting the right groin it was very painful for several days and a lump came there which I afterwards learned was hernia and while I am not positive, yet I believe that is the time and place when and where I incurred hernia of right groin, the place was on my farm near Sulpher Springs, Ohio. I have had it ever since that time and do not know of ever receiving an injury before or since then, as to disease of rectum, I have had that since I came from the army and believe it is a result of chronic diarrhea that I contracted in the army and was in Hospital at Sandy Hook, Va. or Md. later part of June 1864 and the hernia and disease of rectum are not the result of vicious habits...............
I further declare that I have interest in said case and am concerned in its prosecution.
