Photos from: Will honor last Civil War veteran Sunday




Members of the Grand Army of the Republic Old Abe Post 63 were photographed participating in a Memorial Day program in Superior about 1900. The GAR had posts in Superior, Hardy, Oak, Nelson and Lawrence and held frequent reunions. The last Civil War veteran to be buried in Nuckolls County, Charles Watson, will be honored at his gravesite in Superiorʼs East Evergreen Cemetery at 2 p.m. Sunday. He is thought to be among the veterans pictured in this photo but since the names were not recorded, no one knows for sure.
