The last person to receive a Civil War-era pension died in North Carolina last week, according to reports.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Irene Triplett died at a nursing home in Wilkesboro on May 31. She was 90.
Triplett’s father, Moses "Mose" Triplett, was a confederate soldier who deserted in 1863 and joined Union forces the following year, according to The Journal. The Wilkes-Journal Patriot reports that he married Irene’s mother Elida Hall in 1924 when he was 78 and she was 28. Mose Triplett was 83 when his daughter was born.
