State Service Commission
Ar402-403
The West Virginia State Service Commission was formed in 1901, the result of an ongoing process within West Virginia government since 1865, to provide payment for services rendered by the state militia and home guard of West Virginia in the Civil War. Gov. George W. Atkinson recommended to the West Virginia Legislature the board be created to investigate claims of service, and the commission was to consist of the adjutant general and two citizens chosen from the two major political parties. According to an article by Mary Johnson and Joe Geiger in West Virginia History (Vol. 58: 1999 - 2000) , "Printed forms were provided to claimants on which they were required to state the length and nature of their service during the war, their rank, and how much compensation they had received previously.. This form also contained space on which a claimant could name a few other members of his unit.
"Of nearly fifteen hundred claims, the commission allowed thirteen totaling $782.07. That so few claims were approved was due to the decision of the commission to exclude claims made for service which no contemporary record documented, claims by persons who had been paid previously and acknowledged the same, claims for service in improperly organized companies or outside the authority of the state, and claims for service other than active duty."
"In 1903 Gov. Albert White asked the West Virginia Legislature to appropriate money to pay the thirteen approved claims."
In addition to the often detailed military information contained in these applications there can be found the age and residence of the soldier when filing. Other documents found in some files consisted of their original commissions, statements from fellow soldiers as well as some Confederates, wills and estate settlements, canceled envelopes, and other materials to support their claims. Often the claimant is deceased (although the file is listed under their name) and the heir has applied and provided information on the death of the soldier and/or a power of attorney paper. Many of these names do not appear in the West Virginia State Archives Union Militia database.
There are some odd entries, such as a widow applying for her husband who served in the 45th Virginia Infantry of the Confederate army, some men applying for service rendered in a regular military organization such as the 14th West Virginia Infantry (they probably misunderstood and thought this was for a pension), and a few that served as scouts or spies.
This collection, part of the Adjutant General papers, is arranged alphabetical by county followed in each county by an alphabetical listing of the claimants. Some counties had no applications and for some soldiers envelopes were located but no papers found, or vice versa.
An asterisk (*) indicates an envelope was found, but no documents were enclosed.
