Irene Triplett died in 2020 as the last survivor to collect a Civil War pension (as a widow).

I remember reading about her here years ago.

During the early 1900’s up until the depression is wasn't uncommon for an older man with a steady pension and income to attract a young woman that was facing starvation. I have read about many marriages that were done for convenience or just out of caring for the young woman.
