KOAM Married the 93-year-old soldier in 1936 January 8, 2021 8:38 AM Kaden Milner MARSHFIELD, Mo. – The last surviving widow of a Civil War soldier has died. Helen Viola Jackson of Marshfield, Missouri was just 17- years-old when she married 93- year- old James Bolin in 1936. She was a caregiver for the Civil War veteran, who served in the Union army.

Yet in those final years, Inman said, Jackson embraced the recognition that included a spot on the Missouri Walk of Fame and countless cards and letters from well-wishers. ....
