Reno Evening Gazette October 26, 1888
A Pension Slower Than Death
Under the above heading the Virginia Enterprise says: Jack Carey, a well-known
old-timer on the Comstock, died in this city yesterday morning.  Deceased had
been in ill-health for a long time and had been unable to perform any labor for
a number of years.  He was a veteran of the Mexican war, and had recently been
granted a pension for services rendered his country in that affair, amounting to
a considerable sum, but had not yet received a remittance of the money.  There
are several other Mexican veterans in the country, but death is likely to outrun
their pensions and first overtake them.
