| The surviving
patriots of the War of 1812, residing in this
state, met here to-day. Quite a number were
present, and many sent letters regretting their
inability to attend. GENERAL RANNEY, of St.
Louis, presided. The object of the meeting was to
draft a memorial to Congress asking that all
surviving soldiers of the War of 1812 be placed
on the pension list. This object was
accomplished, and the meeting adjourned. The ages
of those present, ranged from 72 to 91. |
