General Notes: Husband - Charles L. Walter


He learned the stone-cutter's trade in Waynesboro, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and worked in the marble works at the place later owned by his brother, but at that time the property of his father.

In 1862 he enlisted in Company E, One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and served as a non-commissioned officer until the expiration of his term of service (nine months). He participated in the battle of Fredericksburg.
