Ray Patterson Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Probably already been mentioned, but today I learned that the last American Civil War Widow died in 2020! Apparently it was common for older veterans to marry younger women in the early 20th Century as the veterans could claim pensions for dependents. Helen Viola Jackson was born in 1919 and married her 93 year old husband aged 17 in 1936, who died in 1939. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a right pompous piece of work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said "erm, it already is 5G" .....................I hadnt noticed because I was in the house and set the new phone up on the WiFi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really does blow my mind. Imagine having a grandfather that was born before the Battle of Trafalgar. Although given his grandfather died about 66 years before he was born it's not like you can really say you knew him. Quote Tyler and his son Lyon remarried much younger women and fathered children at advanced ages, such that Tyler's daughter Pearl did not die until the 157th year after her father's birth. As of January 2024, Tyler still has one living grandson (234 years after John Tyler's birth) through Lyon, making him the earliest former president with a living grandchild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
