"Cumberland Civilian" Cumberland, Maryland, 11 Feb 1883: "
The Review says that Patrick O'Brien, supposed to have been the oldest 
resident of Barton, died at his home Wednesday {7 Feb 1883}. Mr. O'Brien 
enlisted in the Third Maryland Regiment Potomac Home Brigade, and served 
as a private in Company A. He was, with his comrades, surrendered by 
General Miles to Confederate General Hill at Harper's Ferry, and 
afterward paroled. While at Parole Camp at Annapolis, he had a paralytic 
stroke from which he never fully recovered, and was never able to 
afterwards do manual labor. He was receiving a pension from the 
government. Deceased was between 85-90 years of age and leaves and aged 
widow and a large family of children."
