HAS WORKED MANY YEARS
IN BEHALF OF VETERANS
"Col." Charles A. Orr of Buffalo En-
joys Wide Popularity Among
Old Soldiers.

One of the most popular comrades
from New York who will be here at
this encampment is Charles A. Orr of
Buffalo, assistant adjuts< general of
the New York Department. Until 1913
he was the pension agent at Buffalo,
and during his incumbency paid out
S105, 100000 to $4,000 pensioners. and
his accounts were not one cent out of
the way.
. He has always looked after the veter-
ans providing for their welfare and
helping them in every possible way.
He Is SO we'll liked by them that he is
serving his twenty-second term as
commander Of Post No. 2. in Buffalo.
and in 1901 was commander of the de-
partment.
His generous spirit has kept him
from being as well off in his later days
as he might be. In fact. he was reap
pointed once or twice to the head of
the pension agency on the condition
that he would save a little of his
money and not give 1t all away.
The fidelity and accuracy of his work
as pension agent, it is asserted have
been even surpassed by the persistence
with which Col. Orr has hunted out
every case of need or of distress and
personally started whatever fund was
necessary for relief. He has been a
leader in benevolence in behalf of his
old comrades. all of whom call him
col. Orr" although he never gained
that rank in the service.
Mr.. Orr went to the front in the civil
war as a boy of sixteen. For gal
lantry he received a medal of honor.
He has been supervisor from the town
OF Holland. a member of the New York
state assembly. a sergeant-at-ar OF
that body. deputy county clerk, county
clerk. state examiner of court aid
trust funds and pension agent from
1898 to 1913
