Pat, check to see if a local library has a copy of the South Carolina pension records. There is one for Georgia and it really helps if you have a name to search.

The blacklight will bring out some of the writing you can't see. Also try using a flat bed scanner, they'er great for flat objects. Try using the highest pixel setting on your camera, along with the close up feature. As you have discovered outside lighting is the best.
