Pension roll purge trims Civil War veterans by 2000 daily
Civil War veterans lose pensions at about 120 daily while a March 27 ruling adds fifty more to removals. The ruling declares ninety days of service including furloughs as insufficient, affecting Illinois regiments like the Mechanics Fusileers and other units. Many affected enlisted early in the war and some were captured Confederates repurposed for frontier service, triggering widespread reevaluation of claims and suspensions.
