There is tenderness, on pressure, of the cicatrix-no redness or ulceration. The difficulty as to wearing artificial limb arises from the shortness of the stump, and inability to swing the artificial limb for lack of leverage from the attachment of muscles. The stump shows that no artificial limb has ever been worn.

    (3-110) INCREASE OF PENSION (FOR A BOARD) NO. 2
    Claim No. 33198
    Name of claiant, Frederick H. Tonsing
    Rank, Private; Company, B; Regiment, 107” Ohio Vols.; Post-office address, Cleveland, Ohio
    ADDRESS OF THE BOARD: Post office, Cleveland; County, Cuyahoga; State, Ohio; Date of examination, Dec. 9”, 1885.
    We hereby certify that in compliance with the requirements of the law we have carefully examined this applicant, who states that he is now paid thirty dollars per month on account of loss of right leg, sabre wound of left hand & partial anchylosis of finger and that he claims an increased rating for the reason that present rating is too low for disability and that he is now disabled to a total degree for earning his subsistence by manual labor.
    His pulse-rate per minute is 100; his respiration 24; his temperature 98.6; his height is 6 feet and 0 inches; he weighs 183 pounds, and he states that he is 44 years of age.
    Touching his disability and his reasons for asking an increase of pension, he makes the following statement: That his stump is so short that he is unable to wear an artificial limb and that he is unable to sit any length of time without producing pain and numbness of stump and nates. That his sabre wound has caused partial auchylosis of finger, which prevents him using his hand to a certain extent.

    Upon examining this applicant we find the following objective conditions which, in our judgment, do entitle him to an increased rating: Examination shows loss of right leg--measurement shows 6 inches from upper part of great trochanter to end of femur. External flap of the amputation is somewhat atrophied and cicatrix contracted. Cicatrix tender as is also end of stump. Examination of left hand exhibits a cicatrix 1/4 inch wide and 6 inches long extending from inner aspect of wrist joint on dorsal surface of hand to midway between little and ring finger. Cicatrix not tender and no loss of tissue, but the tendonof extensor communis digitonum muscle for the ring finger was cut off. Examination of 3rd or ring finger of left hand discovers no anchylosis of any of te joints, but this finger remains flexed because of extensor tendon being cut off as above stated. This interferes with use of left hand. It is our opinion that claimant is unable to wear an artificial limb because of the shortness of stump and consequent poor leverage, and also on account of the tenderness of cicatrix and we therfore believe he should have same rating as though amputation had been made at hip=joint. We do not believe that claimants disability demands the care and attention of another person for him.
    From the existing condition and the history of this claimant, as stated by himself, it is, in our judgment, very probable that the disability was incurred in the service as he claims, and that it has not been prolonged or aggravated by vicious habits. He is, in our opinion, entitled to a specific rating for the disability caused by loss of Right Leg, 1/2 for that caused by Sabre wound of left hand, and 0 caused by partial anchylosis of finger, the sum of which aggregates specific & 1/2
    Provided further, that all examinations shall be thorough and searching, and the certificate contain a full description of the phusical condition of the claimant at the time, which shall include all the phusical and rational signs and a statement of all the structural changes.

    May 11, 1887
    In the matter of the appeal of Frederick H. Tonsing, Co.”B”, 107, Ohio Vols. Certificate, No. 33,198; Docket 1324-1886
    Sir:
    In response to the call of June 7, 1886 for a report upon this appeal, I have the honor to state as follows:
    The appellant was pensioned for loss of right leg above the knee at the rate of $8.00 per month from July 15, 1864, $15.00 from June 6, 1866, $24.00 form June 4, 1872, and $30.00, per month under the Act of March 3, 1883.
    A declaration for increase was filed July 2, 1885, in which the appellant alleges a new disability. Sabre wound of left hand producing partial anchylsis of fingers.
    The claim for increase was rejected March 15, 1886, on the ground that pensioner was in receipt of the full amount of the pension ($30.00, per month) to which entitled under the laws then existing.
    (The rate has since been increased to $45.00, under the Act of August 4,1886.
    From the action of rejecting claim for increase, the appeal is taken on the ground that the evidence filed shows that the soldier requires the constant personal attention and aid of another person.
    In support of claim for increase the testimony of two neighbors was filed who state, that by reason of closeness of amputation to the hip joint, and the wound of left hand, he requires the constant aid and attendance of another person.
    The appellant was examined by a Board of Surgeons at Cleveland, Ohio, December 9, 1885, who state in their report as follows: “We do not believe that claimants disability demands the care and attention of another person.” The testimony file cannot be accepted to prove that the appellant was disabled to such an extent as to require the constant personal aid and attention of another person, or, to controvert that ofthe Board of Surgeons, therefore the action of rejection was not error, and should not be disturbed.
    All of which together with the papers in the case, is herewith submitted.
    Very respectfully, Jsp. Barttell, Acting Commissioner

    Old Veteren Dies
    Shortly after 3 a.m. today, Fred H. Toensing died in his home at 3701 Chatham Ave. at the age of 77 years. He was a brave German-American citizen and veteran of the Civil War. Old age and liver illness caused his death.
    The deceased came from Hanover where he was born on April 19, 1842. At the age of 16 he came with his parents to live in Cleveland. At the outbreak of the Civil War he entered Company B of the 107th regiment O.V.I. He was in the battle of Gettysburg July 3, 1863 where he lost his leg. After returning to Cleveland he worked in a factory, Holzkubel-Fabrif, which made wooden containers. He took a well deserved reitrement after 20 years of service.
    In the year 1865, he married Maria Hille who preceded him in death by 4 years. The marriage resulted in 5 children, 2 boys and 3 girls and 8 grandchildren, who survive him their father and grandfather. The deceased will be sadly missed by his family and many friends. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church of Cleveland (I think the obit actually said Westlake). The burial took place on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
