.....We are compiling a supplement to our original book titled "Union Veterans of the Civil War Buried in the State of Texas". This will be an ongoing project by member, Susan Pena who will be compiling this information. If you find the name of ANY Union Veteran that is buried in Texas, that was not already included in our original book, she will be happy to add that information to the ongoing project. There are copies of our first book in most of the major libraries throughout Texas. To send information to Susan Pena, please send it to sweetsue63@sbcglobal.net

.....Our second project is that we are now selling copies of our original book titled "Union Veterans of the Civil War Buried in the State of Texas". That book was originally compiled by Kathy Wells and was printed in 1998. Barbara Aman converted the book into Adobe format and it is now available on either CD or DVD, whichever you prefer. To order a copy please send a check made out to DUV for $10.00 which covers the CD/DVD and the cost of postage. Send to Susan Pena, 407 Jennifer Lane, Arlington, Tx 76002, or e-mail her at sweetsue63@sbcglobal.net

The Last Widow of a Union Army Veteran Dies at Age 93

Gertrude Janeway, the last surviving Union Army widow (of veteran John Janeway, 14th IlIinois Cavalry) and reportedly an Honorary member of the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War died on Jan 17th at age 93.

Mrs. Janeway who lived her whole life in Blaine Tennessee about 30 miles north of Knoxville, was born 44 years after the Civil War ended.

Her husband (who enlisted under the name John January) was a 19-year-old Grainger County. Tennessee farm boy who ran away to enlist in 1864 after being encouraged by a group of Union horse soldiers that he met on his way to a Blount County grist mill. She said her husband rarely spoke about the war, when interviewed.

The 17 year-old young woman married Mr. Janeway in 1927 when he was 81. He died in 1937 at age 91. She was to be buried near her husband's slender military tombstone at tiny New Corinth Church cemetery.
