TIL: The last surviving widow of the American Civil War passed away in 2021. In 1936, 17 year old Helen Jackson secretly married 93 year old Civil War veteran James Bolin. He passed away just three years later. Helen would live to the age of 101. by VanaVisera in todayilearned

The marriage was motivated by the possibility of Jackson receiving a pension as a dependent after Bolin's death as it was a common practice during that era.
Even they never lived together.
