Towards the end of the Civil War soldiers underwent medical examinations as a precursor to obtaining pension benefits. The above record, dated April 10, 1865, details the examination of Andrew J. Boyington, a private in Company "H" of the 13th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. In 1864, Boyington was wounded and had to have surgery to amputate a portion of his left arm.
