Please see the documentation above, written by James L. Cole, 1st Lt., "in the volunteer company attached to the 37th Regiment Commander, Col. Folkerson of which company George Graham is Captain, certified that Edmond Nichols has this day attached himself to said company as the substitute of Sampson Patterson - of this county - and also certifies that said Nichols is over 45 years of age, and not liable to "military" service.
