Re: Civil War Soldier's Widow Dies

I know there were some young boys in the Civil War. This ladies husband would have been one of them. I know of Johnny Clem who was born in 1851 and he would have only been 10 when the war broke out. That would mean this man would only have been 13. So he would have been between 13 and 17 during the war.

Sorry to sound so skeptical but I find it hard to believe that there could possibly be many more widows around.
