incident to the life of the soldier, left their
homes and those dependent upon them with
the assurance that aid should be rendered
from the county treasury for the support of
their families and whereas the fund from
which such necessary aid has thus far been
derived is found inadequate to supply all the
demands upon the Board Of Relef, and the
Board have deemed it their duty to call upon
their fellow citizens for advice and direction
in the further discharge Of the duties devol-
