John W. Anthony, died at his home in Glenwood last Wednesday. He was not only an old soldier, but was one of the early day settlers of Mills County, coming here with his parents in June 1850. The Tribune says at the time of his death he was drawing the heaviest pension of anyone in Mills County...$100 a month. This was for "total disability", he having been blind for about 25 years. His blindness resulted from a disease contracted in the army.
