Therefore we, as The Church, recommend him, the same Ira Henderson to the World as a pious Minister of the Gospel. Done by order of the Church. Signed, James Eleson, Clerk, and Henry Roark, Moderator.' Ira was chaplain to Military Prison No. 4.
On Nov 21, 1864, Ira requested a leave of absence while his regiment was on furlough for twenty days, in order to see his family.
