RARE (Unique!) Michigan, Calhoun County, Battle Creek Civil War Loan. We believe this is one of three known. This is 11 for $200 to Charles B Ward. Purchased October 1, 1864. There was a Charles B Ward from Battle Creek who fought with Company B of the 44th Infantry. Mustered out as a sergeant. Signed by supervisor William Harris and township clerk TW Case.
