REMARKS (Under this head the applicant may give any additional information that he believes will assist in proving his claims.)
Please observe that the name is spelled two ways. I am enrolled on all the late rolls as (Tyner) and the old way of spelling it seemed to be (Tiner). Owing to the fact that my grand mother was a Seabolt and not being able to learn any thing about that family wish to reserve the right to file all other claims that may here after arise.
Note - Answers should be brief but explicit; the words "Yes," "No, "Unknown, etc., may be used in cases where applicable. Read the questions carefully.
