  DEPOSITION ________
  Case of                   Sarah Shipley                             ,   No.          379,798             
  
  On this              22                       day of              Mch                 , 1890 , at
               Chester                              , County of               Crawford                           ,
  State of             Ark.                             , before me,          H. N. Patton                   , a
  Special Examiner of the Pension Office, personally appeared          Nathan              
                Shipley                             , who, being by me first duly sworn to answer
  truly all interrogatories propounded to him during this Special Examination of
  aforesaid pension claim, deposes and says:  I was 30 years old the 6th day of
  this month  :  occupation teacher:  P.O. address
  Chester Crawford Co. Ark.
       The claimant in this case is my grandmother.
  I was but 10 years old when my Uncle James Shipley
  died, but I remember where the bed was and just how
  he looked.  He died at my mother's house and I was
  present when he died.  He died of some kind of fever
  but I don't know whether it was pneumonia or typhoid.
  I know he was sick a wk or over, but that is guess
  work.  I saw them dress him and I remember his legs
  and arms were very small - nothing but skin + bones
  and his limbs were spotted - black spotted.  I don't
  remember that there were any sores or ulcers on his
  legs or arms.  I can't remember seeing any breaking
  out on his face.  I heard them talking about him being
  broke out on the breast.  He made our house his home
  nearly.  He had been working pulling fodder somewhere
  and he came to our house that night - the night he
  was taken sick.  I think he was pulling fodder for
  my Uncle Park Shipley, dec'd.  I don't remember how
  he acted when taken sick.  I remember about him
  taking sick at our house sometime in the night and
  remaining there until he died and it was always my
  understanding that he died with some kind of fever
  either pneumonia or typhoid, and I heard that he overheated
  himself pulling fodder - all of them were talking about
  it while he was sick.  And that is about all I do know.
