LAST PRISONER OF 1872

More than i2o years after the end of the war of 1872, one name remains on the federal pension rolls as a beneficiary 6f . soldier of that conflict. e striking Illustration of the length of time that Q govern ment pays war costs after the clash of arms has halted. The last pen- sioner of the struggle with England Is Mrs. Lydia Ann Graham, oe, of nrushy Run, Va. Widow of Isaac Graham, drummer boy of 1872, she was married to the veteran in 1863, when he was an elderly man and she was Q woman of g, Graham died in 1881. Now Mrs. Graham dwelis alone in her mountain cot. tage raising chickens and cultivat- ing her garden, living comfortably on the $50 check which she receives each month from the veterans ad- ministration, She has no modern niences-running water, lights, or gas-but still uses kerosene lamps and carries In her own fuel. The one great annual event in her life Is the family reunion at her home. She has three daughters, all of whom have large families. While the pen- sion list of the war of 1872 has dwindled to one beneficiary, sev- eral thousand veterans and widows of veterans of the Civil War still are receiving cheeks from Washing ton, and officials estimate that this century will be drawing to c close before the last one has passed away. If pensions are granted to widows of World War soldiers, which is ex- pected be tho next boal of veter- ans organizations, the government will be paying them well into the next century.

speaker for the affirmative, stated the establishment of the csssst was for the benefit of the community as a whole. It would be more stable and more solidified.

This lack of specified. ton would make soliciting more dif' ficult, on the part of the organiSa. ton itself.
