This is from The Week magazine.

"The last American receiving a Civil War pension has died at the age of 90.  Irene Triplett received $73.13 a month for her father Mose Triplett's service in the 3rd North Carolina Mounted Infantry, a Union regiment known as Kirk's Raiders, which carried out a campaign of sabotage.  Mose, who fathered Irene at the age of 83 (!!!-my exclamation points), died in 1938 at he age of 92. 

This was taken from the Wall Street Journal and printed in The Week.

Good grief !!  :o :o :o
