Final Roll Call of James A Maing of Freedom Serpe
An old soldier James A Maing of Freedom Serpe died while visiting his son in Logan County. His body returned to Easdale cemetery for burial by his children. A pension dispute arises as a widow had drawn $8 a month for 12 years after a man named David Kizer went missing in the Black Hills and never drew a pension. The government reissued her pension but it remains unpaid for 12 years until the prior pension is earned.
