Pension Decision Reverses Prior Ruling in Ammerman Case
Assistant Secretary Bussey of the Interior Department overruled Judge Hawkins on the Ammerman pension, ruling the injury arose in line of duty during Civil War service. Ammerman, a Ohio Volunteer, was hurt in a camp incident and previously had his pension rejected. The decision may set precedent for similar cases and lead to arrears for Ammerman.
