General Notes: Husband - Newton Mortland

---

He was reared in his native township, received a common school education, and made farming his life vocation, succeeding to the old homestead at his father's death. He was a vet­eran of the Civil War. He enlisted in Company F, One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, August 13, 1862, and participated in the bat­tles of South Mountain, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville, assisted in burying the dead at Antietam, and was honorably discharged after nine months' service. On March 31, 1864, he re-enlisted as a veteran volunteer in Company F, Second Pennsylvania Artillery, and was engaged in the battles of the Wilderness, North Anna, and Cold Harbor. At the last mentioned engagement, June 2, 1864, he was taken prisoner. After eight days spent in Libby prison, he was transferred to Andersonville, where he remained four months. He was then sent to Savannah, Georgia, soon afterwards to Millen, same State, and after six weeks at that point, with many other sick and wounded, he was brought back to Savannah, was there paroled and sent to the hospital at Annapolis, Maryland. In December, 1864, he was sent home on furlough, rejoined his regiment on June 2, 1865, at Petersburg, and on July 14, following, was honorably dis­charged. He was a member of the G. A. R. Politically, he was a stanch Democrat, and held most of the local offices in Marion township, being a justice of the peace.
