General Notes: Husband - Daniel Foltz


He learned the trade of a molder, and worked as a journeyman for a number of years. In 1856, in the days of "Bleeding Kansas," he went with a party of emigrants to that newly organized territory, and settled in Shawnee County. At the outbreak of the Civil war he entered the Union army, enlisting Sept. 19, 1861, in Company C, 8th Kans. V. I. He served most of the time in the 4th Army Corps. Soon after the battle of Chickamauga he received his first promotion, and was commissioned first lieutenant before the close of the war. He was in command of his company at the last battle of Nashville, and was mustered out at San Antonio, Texas. It is said that he marched about thirteen thousand miles during the war. After the war he engaged in farming near Burlingame, Kansas. In 1893 he sold his property and emigrated to Oklahoma.
