Flora Cooke Stuart was the wife of Confederate general J. E. B. Stuart and the daughter of Union general Philip St. George Cooke. She met Stuart, a dashing subordinate of her father, while living in the Kansas Territory in the 1850s, and after marrying, the two settled in Virginia.

More than 23,000 veterans enrolled in the St. Louis Veterans Affairs Healthcare system have received the first dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. More than 15,000 of them have received a second dose.
The St. Louis Veterans Affairs system expects to vaccinate up to 80% by the end of June.
That vaccination rate is on par with those of other VA systems across the country. The St. Louis VA system received its first doses of COVID-19 vaccine late December.
