Pension Act Passes Amid Pending Reforms for 1812 Soldiers
Lawyer Curis C. Shuler reports that only one act has passed so far granting pensions to 1812 soldiers, with many amendments to pension and bounty acts still failing this session. He notes little prospect for a new bounty act and promises to publish any new Congressional benefits in county papers. The Embury Literary and Social Society meets at 7:30 pm with singing, readings, essays, and a debate at the Second M E Church.
