| Gertrude Grubb
Janeway was only 18 when she married a Civil War Veteran named
John Janeway 81. Due to the age difference between John
and Gerdie (as she was know to her friends) and that she lived
to be 93 years old she holds the honor of being the last Widow
receiving a Civil War Pension check. Gerdie never
remarried even though she became a widow at the age of 28
allowing her to continue to receive her husbands Civil War
Pension check.
