Anna was about 22 years old when the civil war started. She had some relatives from both Massachusetts and Maine enlist as soldiers, including her husband and her brother. Her husband James enlisted in August of 1864. Anna would have been home with my great great grandmother, Amy, who was almost three years old and another child, Walter, who was only 4 months old. At this time, Anna's parents are in Maine, but her parents-in-law (James and Sylvia MacConney), brother (Lee), and a sister-in-law (Lavina MacConney Raymond) all live in the same town as Anna, Abington, MA. They do not seem to be on the same street as Anna beacuse she is enumerated more than 10 pages after all of them; but they may have been close enough to have visits with each other if they found the time.
