<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TradingGreen, post: 2509193, member: 75262&quot;]As with most of my collectibles my reason for picking this one up was because it is from Albany NY.&nbsp; The check was printed for use by Mechanics and Farmers Savings Bank, however, the signer crossed out &quot;Mechanics and Farmers&quot; and wrote in &quot;National&quot; to go with the &quot;Savings Bank&quot;.&nbsp; The signer was Albert Vander Veer.&nbsp; Albert was born in Root, NY in 1841 and May 1862, he enlisted in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Medical_Corps" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Medical_Corps" rel="nofollow">United States Medical Corps</a>, one of the original <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=One_Hundred_Medical_Cadets&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=One_Hundred_Medical_Cadets&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" rel="nofollow">One Hundred Medical Cadets</a> called to service by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgeon_General_of_the_United_States" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgeon_General_of_the_United_States" rel="nofollow">Surgeon General of the United States</a> army.&nbsp; He had a great career with Albany Medical College after mustering out of the Army in 1865.&nbsp; Notation on the check states that the funds are for furnishing the new Albany Hospital.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]533384[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
