General Notes: Husband - William R. Gealey

---

He was educated in the local schools, and after his marriage made his home on the farm that his father had obtained by a trade with his son-in-law. There he lived, the farm becoming his property in 1867. He enlisted at the beginning of the Civil War in Company E, One Hundredth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, “Roundhead Regiment,” and served until disabled in the Second Battle of Bull Run. He lay for three days on the battlefield before he was reached by the hospital corps of the Confederate army, who immediately placed him in the care of his comrades. He was for a time in the Centerville Hospital, later being transferred, his injuries requiring one year to heal. He eventually lived retired at his life-long home, having lived a busy and useful life, eventful in at least its military chapter. He was a Republican in political conviction, having been the incumbent of numerous local offices, and with his wife was a member of the United Presbyterian church, which he served as elder and trustee. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic.
