Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1893-08-10

Its readers a complete and official list OF
the pensioners of the general govern
ment now residing in the State OF Della
ware. :,
1t is believed that this list will not
only prove interesting, but will be
publication of real value. The papers
Containing those names go into every
part of the State where these pensioners
reside, and their friends and neighbors,
who naturally may be expected to be
familiar with their circumstances, will
know whether or not they are deserving
recipients of the nations bounty. That
many of the names will occasion sur
prise and rather caustic comment, there
can be no doubt.
It was intended to include in the |
publication the names of the regiments |
to which the pensioners, or the deceased |
soldiers on whose account the pensions
TO dependent children and parents were
issued, belonged, but this information
was denied to THE GAzETTE's repre-
sentative by the agent in charge of the
pensions of Delaware, from whose official
( records the list was prepared. 1t would be
interesting, in view of the number OF men
drawing invalid and service pensions,
4 to know exactly what regiments they
served in, so as to determine the char
1 acter of their service, or make an in
tellipent surmise of the cause of their
| disability. Some of the Delaware regi-
4 ments saw active and honorable service.
Others never went within smelling dis
lance of the smoke of actual conflict.
In the following list the figures given
in connection with each name stand for
a the amount per month allowed as a
pension. Here is the full array OF names;
