EVIDENCE OF PHYSICIAN

STATE OF ARKANSAS,}
County of Scott}
I, Cheves Bevill, a duly registered and practicing physician in Scott County, Arkansas, do hereby certify that I am personally well acquainted with F.M. Brand of Brawley, Arkansas, who is an applicant for a pension under the Statutes of Arkansas.
That at his request I have made an examination of his physical condition and find: State description and character of wound [Blank]
Physical condition and to what cause is his incapacity for manual labor attributable: Old age, Piles and partial loss of eye sight. Eyes effected from incerated lids, of long standing. He can scarcely see to plow corn or cotton while young and that said disability is not the result of his own vicious habits still persisted in. No, he is very temperate.
Extent of disability: I can safely say 90 percent. For such men ought not to have to work.
