Also I remembered that a little while back the last Civil War Pension was paid to a Miss Alberta Martin. She married a Confederate Veteran back in 1927. She passed away back in 2004. She was the last person alive to collect a veteran's pension from the Civil War. She had a son with him. The son is named William Martin and is reported to still be alive. There is someone one this earth that can truly say that their father served and fought for the Confederacy.
