General Notes: Husband - Henry Strickler


He was born two miles east of Brown's Mill, in Antrim Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and at the age of eighteen began learning the saddler trade at Greencastle, afterward finishing his apprenticeship at Martinsburg, Virginia. In 1861 he became bookkeeper in the office of the Repository and Transcript, in Chambersburg. In August, 1862, under the call for nine months' volunteer troops, he resigned his position and enlisted in defense of the Union in Company K, One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and when mustered in at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, was made a sergeant. The company at once moved to the front, and was made part of the Army of the Potomac. At the battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia, December 13, 1862, the company was in the division commanded by Gen. Humphrey in his noted charge on the stone wall at "Marye's Heights." In this charge he was severely wounded in the left arm by a minie-ball from the enemy, the ball entering the wrist and passing out at the elbow, shattering the arm and necessitating immediate amputation.
In 1863 he received the nomination, and was elected register and recorder of the county for the term of three years; was re-elected in 1866, serving two terms. In March, 1872, he was appointed and commissioned general United States store-keeper of internal revenue, and in January, 1877, deputy collector of internal revenue for the district composed of Franklin and other counties. He held this position until July, 1885. He was a member of the Christian Church and Mrs. Strickler of the Presbyterian. [HFC 1887, 733]
