Some WWI vets got married or remarried, when they were very old, to young women who will be around for a long time.

On KFI Radio the other day, they said that some former slaves who lived to be 80 or 90 or more married very young women who are still alive today as widows of former slaves.

I believe there are a few Civil War widows around --women who were in their teens when they married elderly Civil War vets.
