Veteran Baton Dewth at New Year 1901 in Maine
Judge J W Knowlton of Liberty Maine met Civil War veteran Tolman Young at the post office on New Year's Day 1901. Both born in 1807, they wagered who would outlive the other, a bet that ended with Young's death in March after his pension arrived. Knowlton remained active until paralysis struck March 10, and Madge Knowlton was not expected to survive a week. Levi Curtin of Dixmont, wounded at Cold Harbor, attended Young's funeral and, despite illness, still worked hard through winter.
