Note the story of hardships endured by the Mormon Battalion in Orrin's story to the Carson City, Nevada, newspaper, October 20, 21, 1909, for full account.
In part taken from a Carson City, Nevada newspaper, "The Appeal," dated October 20-21, 1909 - with headline:
"Orrin Beckstead last Survivor of the Mexican War" - "Every man, woman, and child in Carson City knows Orrin Beckstead, that gray-haired kindly old Pioneer and Mexican War veteran you see every day on the streets, and who proudly bears aloft the flag of his country on State occasions as the sole survivor of the Mexican War Veterans in the State and who, though bowed with the weight of four score years and more, still lives to tell of the thrilling events of our history during the administration of President James K. Polk. He is doubtless the last of the Battalion of 500 dragoons who volunteered their service to their company and enlisted at Council Bluff's Iowa, in 1846. The old man's eyes kindled with pleasure as he related interesting incidents of their long march, and then again filled with tears as his memory went back to the hardships he endured. His memory is good, but his limbs are weak, his steps uncertain, but the patriotism of his early youth is still there. Yes, Orrin Beckstead, that quiet gray-haired, kindly old man whom you see every day, was one of the history makers of this country, and for that reason an appeal reporter interviewed him and herewith presents a statement verbatim of what he claims to be the longest march ever made by troops afoot."
Orin Mortimer Beckstead lived in Carson City and he worked as a store keeper and had a minor role in local politics. He died of pneumonia was in his 83rd year. The Mexican War Veterans and GAR buried him with full military honors.
______
History - Served with Co. A Mormon Battalion of Iowa Vol. Inf during the War With Mexico of 1847-48. After the war he took part in the great trek in the 1850s of the Mormon faithful across America to find the Mormon homeland to the Great Salt Lake in Utah. There he lived until 1864 when he had some falling out with the church leaders over some of the church's teachings that he left Salt Lake City and moved to Carson City, Nevada. Though away from the mother church he still remained a Mormon until his death.
While he lived in Carson City he worked hard as a store keeper and dabbled in local politics until his death on Jan. 6, 1911, of pneumonia and old age. He was 83 years old. The Mexican War Veterans and GAR buried him with full military honors in The Lone Mountain Cemetery in Carson City NV. The Attached photo of Orin C-1869 was taken in Carson City NV By A.L. Smith Photographer CC NV. and is courtesy of the GAR Post No. 10 Records (They took over the records of the Mex-War Veterans when it folded with its last members death in 1922).

In Memorian. Orin Mortimer Beckstead was born in Canada 21 June 1830. The Brigham Young return list (church roster) shows his birth year as 1828 which corresponds to his age shown on the muster roll for the Mormon Volunteers which may indicate he thought he needed to be 18 or he wasn't sure of his birth year. The marriage date of his parents in 1829 and next sibling born in 1832 supports 1830 which is supported in other documents including his pension. The family joined the church in Canada in 1836 and started to make their way to join the Saints in 1837, experiencing the persecutions until they arrived in Nauvoo. He was the oldest of 9 children, the last sibling born at Council Bluffs in Dec 1846.
Quoted in a local newspaper in 1909, he provided some fun detail about his service although not entirely accurate. He stated: "I enlisted in the Mexican war when I was only a boy. On the 16th of July, 1846, I was mustered into the army at Council Bluffs, Iowa." At age 16, he served as a private in Company A with his cousin Gordon. His uncle William Beckstead who was in Company C, was sent with the detachments to Pueblo. Orin sent $20 from his clothing allowance received at Fort Leavenworth to his father in Council Bluffs. A Church receipt book indicates some funds were received by his father on August 23, 1846.
As the Battalion traveled near the Gila village in December 1846, he noted, "It was the first place ever I was where money was not worth anything. You could offer an Indian five dollars for a little of his flour or meal and he wouldn't look at it, but if you had a brass button or some beads, he would trade with you quick. So we got all we could there from them. This village was ten miles long. We were there on Christmas day. For our Christmas dinner we got some watermelons, pumpkins, and such stuff as they raised and lived on themselves."
Orin reenlisted in the Mormon Volunteers with his cousin Gordon, being discharged in March of 1848. That same year, his father died suddenly of cholera as the family was preparing to leave for the Rocky Mountains and was buried on the banks of the Missouri River. His mother took most of the younger children and returned to Trader's Point in Iowa where she later remarried although her 2nd son married in 1850 and traveled to Utah. Orin's bounty land application notes after discharge he went to San Francisco until 1849, then mined in California until 1860, and finally settled in Nevada. He married there in 1861, fathering five children.
The newspaper interview noted: "Every man, woman and child in Carson City knows Orrin Beckstead, that gray-haired kindly old Pioneer and Mexican War veteran you see every day on the streets, and who proudly bears aloft the flag of his country on State occasions as the sole survivor of the Mexican War Veterans in this State and who, though bowed with the weight of four score years and more, still lives to tell of the thrilling events of our history during the administration of President James K. Polk."
He passed away in 1912. His obituary noted Orin was buried with Military Honors on February 11, 1912. The funeral took place from the family residence and was one of the most largely attended that has taken place in Carson City. Rev. McCreery of the Presbyterian Church conducted the services at the house and H.F. Bartine made an address at the grace.
