General Notes: Husband - Thomas M. McKelvey

---

He was reared and educated in the county of his nativity, and on leaving the parental roof, he worked on the canal until his enlistment in the Union army. In 1864, he joined the Federal forces in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, becoming a member of Company A, 76th Pennsylvania Zouaves. At Williamsport he was mustered in, and the company was assigned to the Second Brigade, Tenth Army Corps, under Gen. Terry. He participated in the battles of Fort Fisher and Bentonville, North Carolina, and was with Gen. Sherman all through the Carolina campaign. At Raleigh he was mustered out on July 18, 1865, and started north by boat from Beaufort, North Carolina, his destination being Baltimore, but the ship was wrecked off Cape Hatteras. He was picked up by a man-of-war, and was finally discharged August 6, 1865, after which he returned to his home in Perry County. Shortly afterward, he went to Kansas City, Missouri, where he remained until the spring of 1866, when he went back to Perry County, but in the autumn of that year secured work in the lumber woods near Snow Shoe, Centre County. After one winter there passed he engaged in lumbering in Sugar Valley until 1869, when he purchased a timber tract of forty acres in Bradford township, Clearfield County, and made that place his home.
Politically, Mr. McKelvey was a pronounced Republican, and he was an earnest advocate of the principles of his party. Fraternally, he was a member of John W. Geary Post, No. 90, G. A. R., of Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, and, for disability incurred during his military service, he received a pension of $12 per month.

He and his wife had eight children; three were deceased before 1898.
