In April1995, I received papers from the National Archives regarding SamuelHolben's application for a pension based on his Civil War Service.Samuel was a Private in Co. M, 2nd Pa. Volunteer Cavalry, PensionClaim No. 717,236. Included in the packet was an affidavit of JacobGruber (Note: Is this guy a relative of Samuel's wife?), a resident ofSeigle, Jefferson County, Pa. dated August 6, 1889. Jacob states thathe has known Samuel for 70 ? years, that he was sound and healthy atthe time of his enlistment, that he saw him in the hospital atKittaning with rheumatism, that he got the rheumatism standing guard,and that he never had rheumatism before his military service. Twoother undated affidavits prepared by neighbors, Jacob Markle and JacobSchreckuyosh?, residing in Pierce, Armstrong County, Pa. are included.Both state that they knew Samuel as sound and able before he enlistedin October 1861 and that since his discharge he has had rheumatismwhich has disabled him fully one half from manual labor. Also includedis a Declaration for Original Invalid Pension form, partiallycompleted by Samuel Holben. It states that during his military servicehe contracted rheumatism caused by exposure. He was in the hospital atCamp Orr, Kittanning, Armstrong Co., Pa. and was treated by hisregimental surgeon, Dr. McCullough for rheumatism from which he hassuffered ever since. Since leaving the service he says he has been afarmer residing at Pierce, Armstrong County, Pa. Witnesses whoverified his identity were Tobias Schick and Jacob Holben ofBrookville ?, Pa. The date was 24 June 1889. A paper in the file fromthe Department on the Interior, Bureau of Pensions dated September 13,1889 states the Samuel Holben enlisted October 1st, 1861 and wasdischarged at Camp Orr, Pa. November 5, 1861. While serving in the 2ndRegiment Pa. Cav he was disabled by rheumatism- time and place notstated. Another paper from the War Department, Record and PensionDivision, dated 8 November 1889, states Samuel Holben was enrolled onthe 1st day of October 1861, at Salem?, in Co. M, 2nd Regiment ofPenna Cav Volunteers to serve 3 years during the war. On the Musterroll of Co. M of that regiment for the months of November and December1861, he is reported discharged by physician date and place not given,muster roll of company not on file. Investigation fails to elicitfurther record of this man's discharge than is stated on Companyrolls. A letter dated October 6, 1906 addressed to Samuel J. Holben,Freeport, R.D. 2, Pa. states that further action could not be taken onyour claim because the records of the War Department failed to showyour date of discharge. There is no record to indicate that a pensionwas approved.	Holben, Samuel (I2390)
