Records of this office furnish no evidence of disability while an enlisted man in above organization."
On Jan. 26, 1889 another document from the War Department references the application for pension No. 660333 showing that George M. Harrod was mustered into the service of the United States as 1st Lieut. with Co., E, 18 Regiment of Indiana Volunteers Aug. 16, 1861 to February 28, 1862 present, March and April 1862 absent wounded, 30 days on surgeons certificate "gunshot wound of foot" May 4, 1862.

Affidavits were filed to prove his claim to disability. The first by Jefferson Williams age 51 was dated 8 Feb. 1889. He was a resident of Washington, Daviess Co., Indiana and stated, "I was private of Co. K 143 Reg't Ind. Vols. and well knew Capt. George M. Harrod and well remember that at Fort Donaldson, Tenn. June 1865 he was sick with some kind of stomach and bowel trouble and at Murfreesboro, Tenn March 1865 he contracted a cold which settled in his head and his nose was so that he could not get his breath through his nose good and would snuff almost continously and these continued with him until we were discharged. I make these statements from memories. "
A second affidavit was made February 15, 1889 by James Fagan who signed with his mark. James Fagan was age 53 and a resident of Washington, Daviess Co., Indiana. "I was member of Captain Herrod's Co. in late war and well remember that he was sick with some trouble of stomach and bowels at Ft. Donelson in June 1865 and at Murfreesboro, Tenn. he contracted cold which settled in his head and his nose became stopped so he got his breath with difficulty and was always snuffing and these troubles continued to bother him until discharge.
In an affidavit made on March 26, 1889 S.O. Horrall a resident of Deckers, Knox Co., Indiana stated that "Capt. Geo. M. Harrod has for twenty five years to my certain knowledge been suffering from a stomach trouble also from catarrah of the head which disabled him so much as he was compelled to abandon his work a great part of the time."
S.D. Marmaduke a resident of Dickens, Knox Co., Indiana made a statement on 10 April 1889 "to certify that I have known Capt. Geo. M. Harrod for the last thirty five years and that prior to his entering the service he was a stout and abled bodied man and since say for the last twenty five years he has been troubled with stomach disease and also catarrh (sic) of the head which has caused him for the most part of his time to abandon his work, the same causing him to be unable to do manly labor."
In an affidavit of April 11, 1889 George stated that he was unable to furnish medical proof of his illness because the military surgeon who'd treated him was now dead as was Dr. Parmenter of Loogootee, Indiana who'd treated him immediately after his discharge from service. He requested that evidence from his neighbors Horrell and Marmaduke be accepted in place of medical evidence. He abandoned his claim to kidney disease because he was unable to prove it.
Also on 11 April 1889 Hugh McMahan, 2nd Lieutenant of Co. K 143 Reg. Ind. Vol. made the following statement, "I was . . . with Capt. George M. Harrod Capt. of my company and remember of his being afflicted with stomach disease and at times was really not able for duty but still continued on duty most of the time. This occurred while we were at Fort Donelson, Tennessee during the summer of 1865. I was well acquianted with Captain previous to entering the army and knew him to be a man in good health. Surgeon Davison who was our regimental surgeon . . . is dead. When we were at Murfreesborough, Tennessee in March 1865 we were very much exposed to cold and rain and having tents from said exposures the Captain took severe cold and for a time was not able to command or drill his company . . . he frequently complained during the time we were in the service of suffering from headache and pains in the stomach.
A statement from his doctor was written May 11, 1889 in Washington, Indiana who stated that ". . . Milton Herrod late Co., K 143 Regt Ind. Vols was under my professional care from Jan. 16, 1877 to June 14, 1881. During this period of time I treated him for a number of attacks of chronic diarrhea . . . from which he was a constant sufferer.
On 24 March 1890 George petitioned for an increase in his pension. At that time he was a resident of Dicken Station, Knox Co., Indiana and was receiving $15.00 per month for his disability of catarrh (sic) of the head and disease of stomach.
In his declaration for increase of an invalid pension on Jan. 14, 1891 George was age 60 and still getting $15.00 per month per certificate # 442279. "He believes he's entitled to an increase of pension of accounty of the increase of disability for which pension was granted and for resulting kidney disease, and for the following . . . at Murfreesboro, Tennessee about March 1865 he contracted rheumatism which affected him in his limbs and from which he has never recovered." His declaration was witnessed by Thomas J. Lavelle and George W. McCracken. His address was still Dicken Station, Knox Co., Indiana.
On Sept. 20, 1893 a final document shows that George M. Harrod was dropped from the pension rolls because of death. His pension of $15.00 had not been increased.
