General Notes: Husband - Peter Whitmire

Oakland Twp, Butler Co, PA

He resided with his parents until his maturity, and attended school a few months during each winter season. He settled on a farm adjacent to the family homestead in 1845, purchasing then 100 acres, but he later owned between 300 and 400 acres, with good buildings and under a high state of cultivation.
In 1862 he enlisted in Company B, Fourteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, was taken prisoner and confined for sixty-two days in Libby prison, and was then exchanged. The last summer of the war he spent at Leavenworth, Kansas, and was mustered out at Pittsburg in the fall of 1865. He was a stanch Republican, and filled the offices of township collector and constable.
