Helen Viola Jackson died last month at the age of 101. She was the last known widow of a Civil War veteran. At 17, in 1936, she married James Bolin, the 93 year old veteran she was caring for. He couldn't pay her, but she inherited his pension. Such marriages were not unknown in the South, but Bolin was a Union veteran from Missouri. Bolin died three years later, but Jackson didn't make the marriage public or apply for his pension. She was afraid for her reputation and didn't want his children to resent her.

The only thing that has stopped concerning The Civil War is the shooting. And I’m sometimes not sure if that can be said. Rest In Peace Mrs. Jackson.
Say ‘’x’’, sometime Google US Army Surgeons Manual/William C. Grace. That’s my great great grandfather. He wrote that.
