Apparently theres still a woman alive who was married to a civil war soldier. Strange but true. Shes about to die though.

Just think about this for a moment...

Martin was a 21-year-old widow with a young son when she married 82-year-old William Jasper Martin, a former Confederate Army private, in 1927 in southern Alabama. They were married nearly five years and had one son before the veteran died in 1932.

Now, enjoy your lunch.

That's amazing. She had a son with him. Does that mean there is a man out there who can say: My Father fought in the civil war?
Or given where he's from more likely say. 'Ma Pa fought dose goldarn Yankee blue bellies in '65'.

Or is he dead now as well?
