Klinck & Grader: Together on Paper

	This document shows the distribution of almost $6,000 to various individuals (including one woman!) in May, 1862. Memphis is scratched out for Columbus, Mississippi. Such edits are seen on Many of these documents.
Some significant discoveries have been made in the past week regarding the Civil War service of our ancestors. With luck (and more research), it will lead to more VA-supplied headstones. Cross all fingers and toes! While documents are analyzed, transcribed, and restored, I wanted to share this historic document. It reveals two things we've never seen before: Proof that John Graham Klinck (typically signed "JG Klinck") was an Ordnance Officer for the Confederacy. Further proof that George W. Grader, John Klinck's son-in-law, was a fellow Ordnance Officer, as seen by both of their signatures on this document. You can also see the stamp of the CSA Archive office. The oval stamp reads, "Record Division, War Department. Rebel Archives." Awesome!
At left, George W. Grader. Highlighted at right are both men's signatures.
