SaysWho? Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Headline I never thought I'd read in 2021 Quote Her husband, James Bolin, was also a Civil War veteran who fought for the Union in the border state of Missouri. Jackson was almost certainly the last remaining widow of a Civil War soldier when she died Dec. 16 at a nursing home in Marshfield, Missouri. She was 101. She was 17 and he was 93 when they married.

BloodyHell Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 To be a civil war widow, wouldn't you have to have been widowed during the Civil War? When my grandfather passes away, we wont be calling my grandmother a "WW2 Widow"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
