From a PDF I got from the Commander-in-Chief of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War

GENERAL ORDER - 29 Passing of Real Son Harold Becker It is with deep regret that I announce the passing of Real Son Brother Harold Becker of Grand Rapids, MI. He passed on August 7, 2016 at age 99. He was a member of General John A. Logan, Camp No. 1 of Grand Rapids, MI. Harold is the last Known son of a Civil War soldier in Michigan. The National Web site, the Charters of all Departments and Camps, and membership badges be draped in black for a period of 30 days from the date of this General Order. Ordered this 7th day of August, 2016, in the Town of East Berlin, Pennsylvania.
