Walter Williams, officially recognized as the last survivor of the 4
million who fought in the Civil War, died on December 19, 1959 at 117 years
old. He served as forage master for a Confederate cavalry company. The last
survivor of the Union Army was Albert Woolson. He died on August 2, 1956 at
the age of 109.

While ADM Cluverius was born in 1875 (Died 10-28-1952 at age 77), a Civil
war veteran would have had to be born before about 1850. ADM Cluverius was
age 59 to 63 when he served, a civil war vet at the same time would have
been at least 80...
As was otherwise mentioned, the Indian wars is a possibility...
I'm still researching Admiral Cluverius. Looks like a very interesting guy.
I'll may post a synopsis later.
