In The Senate of the United States
--------------------
May 15, 1860 -- Ordered to be printed.
-------------------
Mr. Powell made the following
REPORT.
[tO ACCOMPANY BILL s.445)
THE Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred the petition of Louisa T. Whiting, widow of Brevet Major Fabius Whiting, having had the same under consideration, beg leave to report:
That it appears from the records of the War Department, "that Fabius Whiting was apointed second lieutenant, 10th February, 1812; promoted first lieutenant, 20th June, 1813; promoted captain 10th September, 1819; brevet major, 10th September 1829, for faithful service ten years in one grade; and died 16th May, 1842, at Lancaster, Massachusetts."
His widow prays for a pension, and asserts that he died by reason of disabilities contractd while in the line of his duty in the service of the United States.
It appears from Major Whiting's own affidavit, made in 1835, that while stationed at Fort Constitution he was severely injured in the right knee joint, by stepping upon a fragment of ice, and, his foot slipping, falling violently.
This was at a late hour at night, on his return from the guard house, whither he had been on official duty. Date of the injury, 10th January, 1823.
John Preble, who was on guard on that niht, corrobrates the statement of Major Whiting.
A certified copy of an affidavit of J. Goodhue, who was as assitant surgeon, shows that he was called to attend Major Whiting the next morning,and found him so lame that he was obliged to use crutches.
Z. Chickering, a sergeant in Captain Whiting's company, testifies that he did not see the fall, but was at the time informed of the circumstances, and knows that he was more or less lame from the injury until he (Chickering)left the service, some three years subsequently.
Assistant Surgeon Berr--during which time he was oy certifies that he was stationed with Captain Whiting at Bellona arsenal, Virginia, about one year--in 1832 and 1833-- during which time he was constantly afflicted with a lameness in his right knee, which always, more or less, afflicted with a lameness in his right knee, which always, more of less, affected his joing, at times obliging him to limp in a marked manner.
In 1834 Assistant Surgeon Martin certifies to hiscontinued disasbility from some internal disarrangement of his right knee joint.
Sureon Z. Pitcher, United States army, in 1836, certifies to the same.
Assistant Surgeon Archer,same year,corroborates the above.
The following is a copy of the last report furnished to the Ward Department, February 28, 1842:
"My patient, Major F. Whiting, of thefirst regiment United States artillery,remains nearly as reported January 31, 1842. His mind, I think, is becomming still more impaired than several weeks since, while his physical powers are not in the least improved. The chronic affections of the knee, liver, &c., remain without improvement. There does not appear to me to be a probability that he will ever be restored to anything like health again. "Respectfully, "Henry Lincoln, M.D."
Your committee, therefore, after a careful examination of the case are of the opinion that the petitioner is entitled to relief, and report a bill accordingly.
