The study’s reading
A2. The Kansas City Star, Friday 21 August 1891, p. 6 (image 648857643; newspapers.com/image/648857643). NEW.
The heading is PENSIONS RECENTLY GRANTED. The Kansas list comes first ("In Kansas—Joseph R. Martin, John T. Weaver, William P. Watkins, …, Lucinda Burnham and Mary A. Sterling."). The relevant part of the Missouri list reads:
In the image the surname is blotted after "Hegnau". The spacing and the KCT text fit "Hegnauer". There is no dateline and no statement of the kind of pension.
Facts: the grant of Luzius's pension was published in both Kansas City dailies on 21 Aug 1891: the morning Times (already cited) and the evening Star. The two lists are the same, which suggests a common source (probably the Pension Office's weekly list, sent out from Washington).
Adds: a second, independent printing of the grant; nothing else new. It does not settle whether he was alive on that day.
