To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Complete Federal Military Pension Application for Private William H. Groom. His Civil War pension application #623134 was filed on 20 Sep 1887 in Kansas. William was born on 12 Mar 1847 in Adams Co, IL and died on 26 Jan 1937 in Washington Co, KS. He served as a Private with the Union Army in Co E of the 50th Illinois Infantry in the Civil War. He enlisted on 25 Feb 1864 in Illinois and was discharged 13 Jul 1865 in Louisville, Kentucky. He appears in the U.S., Civil War Pension Index: General Index to Pension Files, 1861-1934 and the US Veterans Administration Master Index 1917-1940. Because William died after 1929, I am unable to order directly from NARA's eServices portal. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this request.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Marshall
