Passing of the last real child of the Stonewall Brigade(?)
I’ve been seeing postings lately, mostly on Face Book, about the last four surviving children of Civil War veterans (actually, it focused on the last four just in Virginia alone… and I didn’t seem to catch that last part), and I added to each that I thought they were missing somebody.

… and, also revisiting the family witch story…
