BLAINE, Tenn. -- Gertrude Janeway, the last widow of a Union veteran from the Civil War, has died in the three-room log cabin where she lived most of her life. She was 93.
Bedridden for years, she died Friday, more than six decades after the passing of the man she called the love of her life, John Janeway, who married her when he was 81 and she was barely 18.
Still alive is Confederate widow Alberta Martin, 95, of Elba, Ala.

He was 81 and she was 18? John Janeway is now one of my hero.

#2 Damn, I'm only 30 and the other day a 22 year old gal said *I* was too old for her.

Ha, I guess there's still hope!

#3 Professional journalists would've done their homework and verified the accuracy of this with only a couple phone calls. The fact that they didn't bother shows their bias: Time Magazine, Harry Reid (who should really be more honorable than this), Maureen Dowd....which of the above is not a professional journalist? All of them
