Forty years after the War ended would have been 1904. Amanda Blaine would have been probably in her early 60s or so by then,depending on how old she was when her man went away...since she still wore her(yellowed)wedding gown,she was likely recently married and very young,likely no more than 20. Can only imagine how many times real-life stories like these actually played out,on both sides.

*1905,typo.
