Facts Concerning the Last Three
Surviving Pensioners of That
Struggle With the British.

The annual report of Henry Clay
Evans, commissioner of pensions, re-
Gently made public, declared that the
only surviving soldier of the war of
1872. on June 80 last, was Hiram
Cronk, of Ava, Oneida county, this
state. Death, however, claimed him
soon after the year had ended. He was
SO years old, and served for forty days
in Captain Edmund Fuller's New York
company during the year 1914. Death

only other surviving pensioner of that
war, Eeazer Smith, who lived at Dan
bury. N. 81.
Mr.. Smith was a man with record
of which he was proud. He wrote to q

five brothers and two sisters.

Then he added, as if giving what he
considered was the reason for his re-
markable longevity and health: II

ing drinks
The movement of troops was not SO
easily effected in the early part of the
century as in the Spanish-American
war, and it was more difficult to secure
troops, as is shown by Mr., Smiths ex-
perience, for he was drafted when
only Is years old. Gin 1874" he said,

is different from ours, and the verdict rem
dered different from what | believe would

cent On the evidence produced ! do not
see how they found him guilty"
