I found a link for this some time ago, but now I cannot recover it. Any chance someone could do a write up on this also?

Claims of two other widows apparently a mistake

The article cites comments that there may have been two other Civil War widows living when Mrs Hopkins died:

"A spokeswoman for the UDC, Martha Boltz, has said that there may be two other widows, one in Tennessee and another in North Carolina, but if they are still alive, they choose to remain in anonymity"

This appears to be an error, based on the fact that two Civil War pensions were still being paid at that time; however, these payments were to children, not widows, of veterans -- see here:

The child living in Tennessee has apparently since died, but Miss Irene Triplett of North Carolina is still living, the last Civil War pensioner:
