After waiting for years for a special
pension, Henry B.
Abrams, 72, Civil war veteran and pioneer railroad employee died at
his home 316 Mississippi avenue
this morning, two days after
the increase had been granted through the efforts of Congressman Ira C.
Copley.
For twenty-seven years after the war Mr. Abrams was
connected with the Alton road until disabled by locomotor ataxia. Since then he has been unable to work. Through the provisions of the new invalid
pension law, he was granted $30 a month, being one of two Joliet
men eligible to receive this extra remuneration.
He enlisted in 1861 and served during the war. He was a member of Bartleson post at the time
of his death and was connected with the Masonic lodge.
He leaves a wife, three daughters, Mrs. Mable Plumb,
Chicago; Mrs. Sadie Barrett, Joliet; Mrs. Myra Reynolds, Chicago; and
one son,
Harry Abrams, of Joliet.
Mr. Abrams was born and reared in Joliet
and has resided at one address for forty years. His
widow is seriously ill. Funeral
arrangements will be made later.
