Old Soldier Struggles Reach Hot Springs Aid
Confederate veteran E B Straiter arrived in Alliance penniless and unable to work. After police and charity helped him, officials arranged transport to the government home at Hot Springs South Dakota. Once there, local veterans helped fund the trip and Straiter found a measure of comfort, though a leg wound from the war continues to trouble him. Nebraska State Association of Commercial Clubs lists officers and contact details in Alliance for information on club work and development opportunities.
