Remarkable pension case flourishes on a $50 monthly pension
The case of Henry Wensler of Spiker, Wabash county Ind, shows a pension of 50 a month and 25 000 in investments growing since the 1800s. Guardianship and bank investments yielded returns, with the estate now surpassing 25 000 as the government may receive the balance at his death. The story, relayed by Indianapolis News via the Wabash correspondent, notes Wensler’s long illness and quiet life, his guardianship, and a quirk of a lawyer remarking that if he is sane his pension would end.
