Imagine a woman in 2020 saying "How'd I get my pension? Oh, my husband fought in the Civil war".

When he said 93, I automatically recoiled, but then I questioned whether your shit even works at 93, and began to think it probably wasn't something horrifying. Some of the replies I've been getting under this hurt my brain...

That man was a solid guy man. Giving your benefits to your caregiver after you’re gone. That’s life changing no matter the era.

Imagine loving your caretaker so much today you marry them JUST so they could be set up for life during one of the most economically horrific times in our history.

This is on par with our 10th president having a grandson who died in 2025. It's a remind of how recent all American history is

Wikipedia says she never applied for the pension because hisndaughters threatened to ruin her reputation if she did. What a way to pay back someone who took care of your father during his final years.

The problem is, when they say “civil war widow” you automatically assume its someone who’s husband died in the war itself

You left out the sad part. She never actually applied for it because his daughters threatened to ruin her reputation.

Not crazy, but full of compassion and mercy.
