when did the last civil war widow die
Maudie Hopkins Maudie Hopkins (December 7, 1914 â€“ August 17, 2008) was an American woman believed to be the last publicly known and identified surviving widow of a Civil War veteran.
Albert Woolson Albert Henry Woolson (February 11, 1850 – August 2, 1956) was the last surviving member of the Union Army who served in the American Civil War. He was also the last surviving Civil War veteran on either side whose status is undisputed. At least three men who followed him in death claimed to be Confederate veterans, but one has been debunked and the other two are unverified. The last surviving Union soldier to see combat was James Hard (1841–1953).[1]
