Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War

In Memoriam

Victor E. Tullar

1909-2001

Last known "Real Son" of a Civil War Soldier in Kansas

If I should die and leave you here awhile,

be not like others, sore and undone,

who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep.

For my sake - turn again to life and smile,

nerving thy heart and trembling hand,

to do something to comfort others hearts than thine.

Complete those dear unfinished tasks of mine,

and I, perchance, may therin comfort you.
