Last Person to Receive a Civil War-Era Pension Dies
It's always fascinating to me how close to the past we really are. There are living children of Civil War veterans and slaves. John Tyler has 2 living grandchildren.
Sure, most of these oddities were caused by dirty old men marrying women decades younger than them, but, still interesting. |
My parents were 47 and 41 when I was born, and my wife and I were 44 and 42 when our youngest came along. She's now 7, and if she lives to be 80, we'd have the grandchild of a WW2 veteran still living more than 150 years after the war started.
