SOME VERY OLD SOLDIERS

Washington, June 30-Onc by one
the few remaining pensioners from tue
Revolutionary war are passing lwhy.
In almost every instance these worthy re-
eipients Of government aid have lived TO
good old age, which seems TO SHOW
some subtle connection between length
Of dErs and the enjoyment Of a snug
pension. Quite recently II was on ihe
18th of May. there died at Enston. Pa,
u widow Whose late hnsbnnd's pension
dated back To the war of Independence.
to the days Of powdered wigs and knee
breechcs and whose own term OF years
lacked but one Of rouiaiing out the cen
tnry. This lady was Anna Maria Young,
the widow Of Captain Jacob Young,
revolutionary soldier WHOM Sue married
IN 1916 and with whom ST. enjoyed the
blessings of welded life for the brief pc
riOd of six months only. SHE had. how
ever, enjoyed the pension granted her
soldier husband for some seventy seven
years until her death. Another curious
feature Of this ease is Tile fact that AR
na Maria had had two husbands previous
to her marriugr to Captain Young al
though she Was only twenty-five years
old AZ the time. \ goodly company OF
grand children and great grand children
are left TO tell the story of her many
virtues
The entire number of revolutionary
Pensioners still on the government rolls,
and 1t Is amazing that any rcmhins' Is
less than twenty. aud in no case, of
course. is the living beneficiary the party
to whom the pension was originally
granted. The last actual survivor OF the
great war, Samuel Downing died in
1851. As he had drawn a pension for
SOME eighty years. he I probably entitled
to hold the national record in this re-.
speet. His case is o1e of especial In
tcrcst, particularly il deductions may be
drawn from II as the probable duration
dt life Of pensioners from our late war,
Samuel Downing was born AT NewbuiS-
port. Mass, ON November 30. 1861. and
died al Edinburgh, Saratoga county.
New York state, on February 10, 1861
He enlisted FROM Antrim. y. H.. at the
age Of sixteen. al Cbnrlestown, y, IL,
and srrS d through the war In the See
0nd New Hampshire regiment. some
time after the signing Of the treaty Of
peace he applied for aud obtained an an
nual pension Of $50 from the United
States government his application being
the last ever granted for n revolutionary
pension,
Despite the severe hardships suffered
10y the troops during the prntrartrd war
Mr.. Downing 50 far retained his vitality
and physical strength that upon the
