vivor upon the death of William r,
Buckner, Paris. Mo-, at the age of lOl,
on June 16, 1929.
There Is an unusual bond of comrade-
ship between Owen Thomas Edgar and
members of the v. r. w., who are
veterans of the Spanish-American
War. the Philippine Instruction, the
Boxer Rebellion, the Cuban and Hal
titan expeditions. Edgar Is not only the
final surviving veteran of American
forces in their clash with Mexico more
than 80 years ago, but he also stands
as the oldest veteran of overseas service
in the country. 1t was this service on
the high seas in hostile waters that
made him eligible to membership in the
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United
States.
The aged ex-gob, Americas final hui
man link with the forces it sent into
Mexico in 1916, Is reported to be physi-
cally active despite his advanced years.
He reveals a keen interest in affairs of
the Bible and loves to reminiSce of his
days on the bounding main.
The Cross of Malta button that de-
notes his membership in the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, the only veteran Or
ganization In existence in which he can
claim a full-fiedged membership, never
leaves the lapel of his shiny, blue
uniform.
Il am proud Of the service that opens
to me the ranks of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the United States" he
once remarked, land even though my
experiences came before the rest of you
were even born, know what 1t is to
wear Uncle Sans uniform and repre-
sent his principles on a foreign soil.
With you, know what 1t means to be
thousands of miles from home and the
peculiar bond of comradeship felt only
by those who have endured similar
longings for their native land"
A movement was launched recently
within the Veterans of Foreign Wars to
take the aged Mexican War veteran to
st. Paul for the annual reunion. The
discomforts Of long trip, however,
coupled with advancing years, may in
terfere. Nevertheless, due tribute will
be paid to him and his departed COM
rades, with eulogies and prayers from
the assembled overseas veterans gathered
in st. Paul, as their gesture of esteem
for the dean OF all overseas service vet

missioner to be allowed to proceed with
an investigation into affairs OF the COM
pany. He asked the District Court to
refuse a request OF Fred II. White,
Wyandotte County attorney, for the ap-
pointnent of a receiver and trustee.
In arguing his motion, which was
taken under advisement until today, Mr..
Smith asserted the insurance commiS-
Sioner had been investigating the COM
pany for the past four months. The
attorney general argued his Office should
be allowed to prosecute, If investigation
determined prosecution was advisable.
