Default Trivia Game # 35 - Week 3

I'll be attending my son's school play tonight, so I'll post the questions for Week 3 a little early.

Here are the questions for Week 3 of Game # 35.

11. What Richmond church is known as the “Church of the Confederacy?”

12. Which two Cabinet officers served in the same positions throughout the eight years of the Lincoln/Johnson administrations? (You must give both names to get credit for your answer.)

13. What was a “hospital rat?”

14. What did Ella Bishop do at Lexington, KY that made her a heroine to Federal sympathizers?

15. (Two-point question) Albert Woolson was the last member of the Union Civil War army to die when he passed away at the age of 109. How old was he when he enlisted?

Those who have not yet responded to the questions for Week 2 have until 6 PM today, November 19, to do so.

Responses to the questions for Week 3 will be due by 6 PM Saturday, November 26.

11. Saint Paul's Episcopal Church next to Capitol Square where President Davis was sitting in his pew at services on Sunday April 2, 1865, when a messenger brought him a letter from General Lee advsiing him that the Peterburg were broken and that the Capitol had to be evacuated. It was also the church were General John Pegram was married on January 19, 1865, and his funeral was held three weeks later after he was killed on February 6, 1865. From bride to widow in three weeks.

12. William H. Seward (State); Gideon Welles (Navy).

13. A soldier (or sailor) who feigned illness to avoid returning to duty.

14. She rescued a Union flag from Confederate troops who were dragging it through the street, wrapped it around her body and stated that she would surrender it only with her life. The Confederates, being Southern gentleman and not brutish villians of Yankeedom, left her alone.

15. Seventeen.
