You are correct. The more accurate title would be "Last Widow of Civil War Veteran Just Died." But I give the benefit of the doubt that people who read articles recreationally also don't think she was married 157 years ago to a husband who was killed in the Civil War. And six generations, my Great Grandpa's Great Grandpa, isn't that far of a generational leap. My Great grandma who I knew through childhood also took care of a Civil War Vet. History isn't so far away that either its ugliness on one hand or founding genius on the other has been erased. It's both good and bad for us that history is close. I appreciate your reading and commenting, John!
