Pension Declaration of Job Rader


He was born Aug. 22, 1844 in Patricksburg, Owen County, 
Indiana and died 
April 9, 1925 in Council Grove, Morris County, Kansas.

" In a notarized Pension Declaration statement dated May 
20, 1913, Job C. 
Rader declares that he is the identical person who was 
enrolled at Spencer, Owen 
County Indiana under the name of Job C. Rader on the 24 
day of July, 1862 as a 
private in Company F Sixth Regimental Indiana Volunteer 
Cavalry in the Civil 
war, and was honorably discharged at Camp Chase, Ohio on 
June 10, 1865.  His 
personal description at enlistment was as follows:  
Height 5 feet 6 inches; 
complexion, Fair, color of eyes, Blue, color of hair, 
Light; that his occupation 
was Farmer; that he was born May 20, 1843 in Owen County, 
Indiana.  He is a 
pensioner under certificate No. 204720 and is asking for 
increase due to age."


Job Chambers Rader spent most of the Civil War at Andersonville prison.  I 
realize there is a discrepancy in the dates of birth.
