423 Civil War Widows Alive on Memorial Day
Washington AP reports 423 Civil War widows remain alive this Memorial Day. The women, once young brides, average 9 years old at widowhood, with 288 married to Union veterans and the rest to Confederates. Some recall war tales vividly, others recall little, as pensions for those over 70 provide small support.
