Civil War Widows On VA Pensions ! By GERALD BOWKETT I United Press Staff Writer Washington (U.R) The two mighty armies of the Civil War have dwindled from 3,500,000 men to four. But the widows of participants in that conflict still are almost a brigade strong. Nearly a century after the out break of the war, more than 7,000 widows are receiving pen sions or compensation payments from the federal government or from 14 southern and border states. The Veterans Adminstration showed 4,931 Union widows on its rolls in February. The South, which takes care of its own, could muster 2,188 widows of the men in gray, according to a United Press survey of the 11 states of the . old Confederacy plus : the border states of Kentucky-, Oklahoma, and Missouri. Payments Vary Albert Woolson, 109, of Du luth, Minn., is the sole survivor of the 2,900,000 men who fought for the North. Three old soldiers are left of the estimated 600,000 who an swered the South's call to arms. They are John Sailing, 109, of Slant, Va.; William Lundy, 107, of Laurel Hill, Fla., and Walter W. Williams, 109, of Franklin, Tex. Union widows receive month ly checks either pensions or compensation payments rang ing from $40.64 to $87, depend ing upon several factors, includ ing whether their husbands had service-connected disabilities. Amounts paid to the Confed erate widows range from $20 a month in Oklahoma pro-Southern Indian Territory during the war to a whopping $478 month ly in Missouri which was held in the Union by northern . sym pathizers. The latter figure, how ever, is for the care of just one widow, an invalid who requires a home and full-time care. Mexican War Widows The average monthly compen sation payment is about $85 in the South, according to compila tion by the General Relief Com mittee) of the." Sons, of Confeder ate Veterans. Nine of the states also provide a funeral grant for Confederate widows. Survivors of U.S. wars draw pensions long after they have ended. The last veteran of the Amer ican Revolution died in 1869, at the age of . 109. . The last widow of a Revolutionary War veteran died in 1906 at 92. The last vet eran of the War of 1812 died in 1905 and the last dependent in 1946, VA records show.
