Gettysburg National Military Park, Gettysburg, PA, United StatesMore information:
A name can be found at the rear of the monument – Walter Washington Williams. On December 19, 1959 Mr. Williams, a former forage master of a Texas regiment, passed away at the age of 117. It was thought, at one time, that Mr. Williams might have been the last Confederate veteran to pass away. Officials of the National Park Service, however, currently doubt that this might be true & believe that John B. Salling of the 25th Virginia Infantry who passed away on March 16, 1959 at 112 rightfully deserves the honor.
