              <text>&lt;p&gt;Joseph Littlefield filled out this Oath of Identity blank form probably in preparation to certify his Civil War record documents with the notary while applying for a pension. When filled the document would testify that the person appearing before the notary is the same person whose war record would be provided.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Born in Peoria County, Illinois in 1840 Joseph Littlefield served almost three years in the Civil War as a private in company C of 102nd Illinois volunteer regiment. After the war he returned to Illinois and married Hellen Crandle. In 1879 Joseph Littlefield and his family that included his mother Joanna, who was 71 at the time, came to Nebraska Clear Creek area, Sherman County to homestead. Hellen died in 1881 and six years later Joseph, now 47, married 24 year-old Lotta (Charlotte) Roberts, and had 7 more children with her, of whom only 5 survived. Littlefield moved to Aurora, Nebraska in 1904 and died there in 1911.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The form comes from the collection of Terri and Dave Mabon. Dave Mabon is Joseph Littlefield's great-grandson.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
