Wisconsin, hereby submit the following a. their
annual report:
We have given aid during the past year to q
benefcaries, being veteran soldiers, soldiers
widows, soldiers orphans ami mothers OF de-
ceased soidiers, all OF whom are dependent and
needy.
We have distributed to snch bene6ciarIes dur
ing said year the sum ofeighLeen hundred, eighty
two dollars
We have paid the expenses OF sending one veter.
an who was formerly beneficiary, 70 the Veter-
ans Home at Waupaca, Wisconsin, he having
been too feeble 10 travel alone thereby relieving
said fund from HE future maintenance.
Under the beuefcent aud liberal pension laws
OF the United States several Of the veterans have
received pensions and seme widows will uu-
doubleday soon be thus favored, relieving the
county from giving them further aid.
BY reason OF the law passed last winter by our
legislature granting aid TO the dependent mothers
81 deceased soldiers, our list Of benehciaries is
kept about heretofore.
By reason OF Increasing age and consequent
increase OF bodily infrmities those veterans en-
titled 70 relief will become more numerous aud
more needy.
