Two children of aged Civil War veterans who fathered children in their old age are still drawing disabled children's survivor benefits 148 years after the war ended, and over 50 years after the last veteran died.

They may be children of Confederate veterans. One is from North Carolina and the other was from Tennessee. At first the Yankees only paid for their own veterans, but many years after the war ended, and there weren't too many veterans left on either side, they opened it up for Confederate veterans, too. After all, we are all Yankees now.
