This is just a part:
On April 18, 1900,
James Ussery was deposed by the Government concerning the
Pension Application case of Phylena Ussery.
The following is extractions from that deposition:
...I am 53 years of age, I was a member of Vandevily's Regt. Cherokee Vol. C.S.A.
Enlisted in the army. Twice elected and served two terms as County Judge of Kiamichi County, and was elected and served as Sheriff of Kiamichi County, Choctaw Nation.
I am wanting to get the information I need to get him a headstone for he only has a native rock.
Do you know what papers I would need for this?
Thanks,
JoLynn Self
