This is a record book kept by John B. Bell, a physician at Potosi in Washington County, Mis­souri.  Bell was a medical examiner of Enrolled Missouri Militia and U.S. Colored Troops during the Civil War, and of pension applicants after the war.  The entries include the results of examina­tions and descriptions of disabilities.  The pension examinations are indexed.

 

 

The records are in chronological order.  Militia records precede those of pension ex­amina­tions, which Bell performed from 1869 through 1875.  Copies of rules for militia exemp­tions, and a letter from Bell to Maj. James Cook of Old Mines, Missouri, are included at the end of the vol­ume.
