Curious Pension Report Shows Widows Outnumber Survivors

The Commissioner of Pensions notes 2045 war of 1812 survivors and 17212 widows at year end, a six to one ratio. From 1871 to 1885 total survivors 34673 and widows 43583, with over twenty thousand pensioners now on rolls. The department pursues purge of fraudulently borne names and seeks exact answers on ages and marriage trends. Nothing harder than a printer's towel.
