General Notes: Husband - William D. Reno


He attended school in Rochester, Pennsylvania, and at the Beaver College, and early in life went on the Ohio river. He enlisted in April, 1861, in the 10th Pennsylvania Reserves: was a non-commissioned officer; was taken prisoner at the battle of Charles City Crossroads and held on Belle Isle for five weeks, and then exchanged. He rejoined his regiment, and was engaged in the battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. In the last named battle the 10th Reserves took a very conspicuous part. He was discharged in 1864, and after the war was a pilot and captain on the river most of the time. He embarked in the livery business in company with Captain Thomas G. Evans, in 1884.
He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church; in politics he was a Republican. He was a member of the I. O. O. F., the R. A. and the G. A. R.
