In person came before me, the undersigned Ordinary, in and for said County, witnesses James Singletary and ___________ (each known to said Attesting Officer as truthful, reliable and reputable citizens), who severally say under oath, that from their own personal knowledge, Mrs. Laura E. Mott, of the County of Schley, State of Georgia, is the widow if M.J. Mott, who was a soldier in

That while in said service, or by reason of said service in the Army, he lost his life as follows: He was detailed as a guard to conduct prisoners from Petersburg, Va. to Andersonville, Ga. and while on the way, he was shot and
sent to hospital in Augusta, Ga. and there died on the 17th day of August 1864.
Amendments: I further swear that I was on the train near Augusta, ga. when said Mott was shot with Minnie ball through the left leg below the knee & saw the wound & assisted in taking him off of said train & I positively know that he has never returned to his home since the war. His wound was the direct cause of his death.
Our opportunity for knowing the facts stated in reference to death of applicant's husband were that he never returned to the regiment again.
We further swear that Mrs. Laura E. Mott was the wife of said soldier during the service, and that she has not intermarried since his death, and that she resides in Schley County of the State of Georgia.
