LAP Vets of First
Mexican War Living

Although IL is nearly Sc years since
the war with Mexico was ended Off
cially. July Z. 1S4S. there were 1.442
veterans OF that war upon the rolls OF
the pension bureau at the close of the
last fiscal year. each drawing $50 a
month. There we're also 5.l23 wiGors
OF soldiers in that war receiving pen
sions from the government.
AS there were only 3O.954 regulars
and 1916 volunteers. a total of 49,
23O American soldiers engaged in the
struggle. which officially began IS
years ago. the soldiers OF that period
must have been a hardy lot. for a boy
OF Is at the close OF the war would
now have passed the scriptural allot-
ment of three-score and ten and been
well on the second half of his fourth
score of years.
The larger number of widows on the
rolls is accounted for by the fact that.
as in the case of the Civil war vet
Grams. many hundreds OF those who
fought in Mexico under Scott took
second and even third wives late in
life
Soldiers OF the Mexican war and
their dependents received no pensions
for their services until nearly p years
after the war closed, the first act for
their benefit bearing the date OF jan
uary 80. 1887. Since that time the
cost of their pensions to the govern
ment. up to the close of the last fiscal
year, was S47.632.572.
