Hello Group, I was reading the Athens County newspapers abstracts- extracts and in the Athens Journal, 24 July 1890, p.8, col.1, it states: Melville DOUGLAS applied for a pension through H. H. Wickham. How would I go about finding the actual record of this pension? I believe this is my 3rd Great Grandfather, Melvin C. DOUGLAS ( born 21 March 1849 in Lodi Twp., Athens Co.,OH - died 15 Sept. 1913 in Athens Co.,OH) His wife was Lucretia H. RILEY (1852 OH - 1933 Athens Co.,OH) Thanks for any suggestions and help. ~Debby [email protected]
