"LOVVORN, MRS.MARY A.
GEORGIA, CARROLL CO.
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 mary 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. SS J. P. Chandler. Sworn this October 21st 1912.
