William Lundy

William Lundy (January 18, 1848 – September 1, 1957) claimed to be one of the last living Confederate veterans of the American Civil War, having claimed to have served with the 4th Alabama Infantry from 1864-1865. His age is disputed and some records suggest he was born in 1860, not 1848.
==Biography==

William Lundy was allegedly born near Troy, in Pike County, Alabama, on January 18, 1848 (also reported at Coffee Springs, Coffee County). He is said to have enlisted in the last days of March 1864, at age 16; Company D (Brown's), 4th Alabama Cavalry Regiment (Home Guard) at Elba; and to have been honorably discharged at Elba in May 1865, on account of close of war. He moved his family to Laurel Hill in 1890, where he and his wife, Mary Jane Lassiter, raised ten children.
He was granted a Confederate soldier's pension in Florida, no. 8948, of $600 per annum to be paid effective from June 12, 1941. At some point the pension increased to $75 per month ($900 per annum), and finally, in 1953, it was increased to $150 per month ($1800 per annum).〔Florida Pension Records〕 On January 18, 1955, the ''Boston Traveler'' published an article, "Reb on T.V.", of which William Allen Lundy was the subject; making mention of the 107-year-old Confederate veteran being on television in Pensacola.〔
By a Joint Resolution of Congress of July 18, 1956, a gold medal was authorized to be struck and presented to the only four surviving Civil War veterans: one Union veteran and three Confederate veterans. The Union soldier died before the medals could be presented.〔
