Pension Raise (1912-1913)
On May 11, 1912, Charles Lorne is set to receive an increase in the pension payments that he receives. The United States Congress has approved a raise in pension for civil war veterans who served 90 days or more. For Charles to get this raise, he must fill out another application showing proof of his date of birth. As he has done so many times before, he fills out the forms. But this time there is a problem. This is the first time the government is requiring a birth record. From the beginning of his filling out pension applications, he has falsely claimed to have been born under the name of Charles Lorne. He had signed an affidavit that he only changed his name to Joseph Kello because he was under the legal age to join the army. Now he realizes that he is in a predicament. Proof of his birth either from the civil records or the church records will show that he was born with the name Joseph Kello. He sends in the application without a proof of birth.* (L141)

The noisy, smoke filled, stale beer smelling, Lost Arrow bar is where I found Joe Crow. In the corner, leaning on a rundown shoot-em-up arcade game.
