I imagine the amount is very minimal.

She receives the princely sum of $73.13 a month.*

Moses Triplett's second wife, the mother of Irene, was 55 years younger than he was.

There are many cases of this as all the young men were killed during the war. After the war the only men available were old or young. There have been several studies on this and how it affected the population over the years after the war.
