Conf veterans split on pensions and board seats at reunion
Confed veterans at the Ballas reunion divided over two main proposals. One asks the federal government to take over Confederate pension rolls and pay former Confederate pensions like Union survivors. The other seeks to add Confederate veterans to the Stone Mountain Memorial Association executive board. A reappointment vote and leadership picks dominated the gathering as officials denied a Union store claim. General Robertson and Collier led top posts while the reunion planned further events.
