There are two trustees ex-officio—the President, W. L. I. Veteran Association, of date 1883, Colonel C. H.

Details of these annual benefactions during1883; Captain Julius E. Cogswell, 1890; Captain Frank Robson, 1902. Details of these annual benefactions during nearly three decades are not needed, but the aggregate result will show how large a work has been quietly done.
