As remarkable as it may seem, a veteran of the American
Revolution died after the Civil War.

Lemuel Cook died May 20, 1866 at the age of 106
years old.

He received an honorable discharge which was signed
by George Washington. Cook is one of the few soldiers
of the revolution who was photographed.

The last living widow of a Revolutionary War
soldier was Ester Sumner Damon.
