Civil War Discharge papers reads as follows: “To all whom it my Concern: Know Ye, that Francis M. Kirk a Private of Captain R. A. DeBotts Company B, 23, Regiment of Missouri Volunteers who was enrolled on the twenty-sixth day of August one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one to serve three years is hereby discharged from the service of the United States, this fourteenth day of June, 1862, at Saint Louis, MO by reason of Surgeons Certificate of Disability. Having received a gunshot wound through his head the ball entering the right ear and passing out below the left causing the loss of sight in right eye and hearing in both ears. Said Francis M. Kirk was born in Anderson County, in the State of Tennessee, is 26 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches high, dark complexion, blue eyes, black hair, and by occupation when enrolled, a farmer. Given at Saint Luis, MO. This 14th day of June 1862.” The Discharge paper has these statements written vertically across the face: “The Medical Directive approved this soldier’s discharge for full pension and Paid at Saint Louis June 16, 1986 by Robert Smith Paymaster.” This is followed by a notation that looks like “use.” The face of the document also has two stamps that indicate that Francis M. Kirk appealed for additional funds later. One stamp contains this information: Additional Bounty 100. Paid Apr 22 1868. The other stamp shows: Milo B. Stevens & Co. Attorneys, Chicago Ills. War Claim June 20, 1882. A stamp on the back of the document shows: Department of the Interior August 22, 1882 Pension Office.
