Description

Saffold is searching for any officer or man of Co. E, 135th Regiment, U.S. Colored Troops. Saffold is trying to get a Civil War veteran's pension.

The Manning Times (Manning, SC), March 26, 1890, pg. 1:

A Negro Pensioner.
There is a negro in Georgia drawing a pension of twenty-five dollars a month from the government. His name is Henry Saffold, and he lives in Penfield, Greene county. Saffold, it seems, ran away from his home in Greene county and went into the army as an attendant upon a Union soldier. He contracted a disease in the army which has incapacitated him for work since, and the other day, after working on the matter for two years, Mr. Carlton succeeded in getting his name on the pension roll. He draws $25 a month.
