President Cleveland Denies Relative's Pension

I've been working on Aaron G. Firman--a Civil War veteran who served in Company I of the 7th Vermont Infantry and died in Florida in 1864. A search of Google Books (http://books.google.com) located the following reference:

page 230, Journal of the United States House of Representatives, 1897.

We'll have an update. Stay tuned.

Never hurts to search for your relative on Google Books.
