I just learned that Judge Thomas E. Webster was the last Bay County Civil War veteran to die. He died at the age of 92 on 13 Sep 1940.
He enlisted in the war while living in New York in 1864, joining up with Co. E. 2nd New York artillery.
He came to Bay City in 1874 and became probate judge a few years afterwards. His homestead was at 900 Fifth Ave. The home is now the Angel's Lair Bed and Breakfast.
