News report from 1953[edit]

James Hard Civil War James Hard, 111, Oldest Vet of Civil War Dies

Rochester, N.Y., March 12, [1953] - James A. Hard, the oldest veteran of the Civil war, died tonight. The high spirited, cigar smoking veteran underwent amputation of his right leg above the knee 10 days ago. The amputation was made because of a progressive circulatory deficiency in Hard's right foot. His death cut the list of surviving Civil war veterans to five - one a Union man and the others Confederate. Hard joined the Union army at 19, four days after the firing on Fort Sumter started the Civil war. He fought as an infantryman at the battles of Bull Run, Antietam, and Chancellorsville. While a soldier, he met Lincoln at a White House reception and later saw him twice reviewing troops in Virginia. [The Chicago Tribune, March 12, 1953, transcribed by K. Torp]
