lucky who viii attend the reunion OF
the National Association of Mexican
War Veterans. to be held in East St
Louis September Is. will meet in Louis
willie September IL, to make the final

years ago the kentucky State Associa.
ton of Mexican War Veterans was a
1ourshing organization, but one by one
the survivors of the war OF sixty years
ago have passed away, until the state

this month in East st. Louis will be
the last gathering of the members of
the national association. There are few
il any Mexican war veterans left in
Southwest Kentucky.
