Re: [DL] Last Union Widow dies (a mite OT)

["Daniel Gwyn" <dgwyn@colba.net>]

Hi again,
    Another (silly) thought on the "last of's" of the Civil war.  The last
surviving veteran of the Civil War (died in 1959, aged 113) was a
Confederate.  Now it seems last Civil War Veteran widow was married to a
Confederate.  Can we then extrapolate that as the Confederacy has won the
longevity records for veterans in both categories that supporting the South
is good for one's lifespan? ;-)
    Yes, I did say it was a silly thought.
