FINDLAY, Ohio (AP) - A Findlay woman whose father fought in the Civil War has died at the age of 103.

Family members say Edna Marie Hetrick died Monday at a senior living center in Findlay.

Hetrick was a member of the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War. The Illinois-based group says there are 16 other living daughters of Civil War veterans.

Hetrick's father David Huffman served with the Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the Union Army. He fought in battles in Tennessee and Georgia and was wounded in 1863.

Hetrick was born when her father was 62, some 41 years after the Civil War ended.

She said she remembered her father talking about the war, but she wasn't very interested at the time.
