Alliant says that he was too young at the time to remember anything about it, he has heard his mother say that when the soldier (his father) came home that he was suffering from his lungs; there was no Surgeon or Doctor with the command from whom he could get evidence of his condition, but he sent the evidence of a Dr. Hafforth a citizen doctor of Osage County showing that his lungs was in bad shape. He went to the Mulanphy Hospital in St. Louis in 1863, where he died on or about the 2 day of November, 1863. Affiant says that he has used all dilefence (defense?), and used every means at his command to get the evidence required but has been unable to do so. He further declares that he has interest in said case and is concerned in it's prosecution. Signed, Samuel Miller (Rec'd at U.S pension office and stamped Oct 16, 1903) |

| GENERAL AFFIDAVITS FILED BY SAMUEL MILLER,ET AL, 1892-1903 |
| SOUTH DIV, MINOR CLAIM ISAAC MILLER SAMUEL MILLER, ET AL OSAGE CO MO HM GDS DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR BUREAU OF PENSIONS WASHINGTON D.C. In the above citied claim, the testimony as to the continuance of soldiers alleged disability, and cause of death is not sufficient. Was the medical treatment at anytime subsequent to discharge other than that given by Drs. Hoffarth and Johnson. If so, the physician who waited upon him should be called upon for a statement of what that treatment was. It appears that the soldier was taken ill while at the Pacific Hotel in St. Louis, was removed to Mullanphy Hospital and died there several days afterwards. The testimony of the hotel-keeper or others stopping then at the time would be filed, showing whether the soldier had any medical treatment while there, and by whom, and the nature of his illness. The presumption is that he was treated while in the hospital and that a thorough search of the records then will discover the cause of death. The testimony of Nicholas Wolf as to dates of birth is not satisfactory for the reason that he fails to show his means of knowledge. |
