Pension Claim of Mrs. Mary A. Lovvorn
Personally came J. P. Chandler, who is a citizen of Carroll
County, Ga., and entitled to full credit, who being duly sworn by me says.
I have carefully read the affidavit of Ben Knott, have
endorsed the facts testified to by him. In addition I will state that while I did not see John N.
Lovvorn for several months after the War was over, when I did he
was still unable for military service and was always feeble in health to the day
of his death. I have no doubt about his inability
to return to his Company as he loved the Service and the Cause.
There was no better soldier than John N. Lovvorn.
