General Notes: Husband - Joseph Sanders Grant

---

He grew to manhood on the old homestead in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, acquiring his education in the local schools and obtaining his knowledge of agricultural pursuits on the home farm. When President Lincoln issued his call for 300,000 more volunteers in 1861, he enlisted in Company E, 78th P. V. I., and with his command participated in the battles of Nashville, Murfreesboro, Stone River, Chickamauga and was in the Atlanta campaign, when the troops were on the march for thirty days. He was also in the raid against General Shield's command, and after three years of arduous and faithful service he was honorably discharged at Kittanning, Pennsylvania, November 4, 1864. After the war he successfully engaged in farming in Butler County, until 1874, when he came to Perry township, Clarion county, and purchased the Harvey Hagan farm of 130 acres, on which he made many improvements which added greatly to its value and attractive appearance, converting it into one of the best farms of the locality. He erected a fine modern residence on a natural building site, and also built good barns and other outbuildings for the shelter of his grain and stock.
He was an ardent Republican and Prohibitionist, and was a prominent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he served as steward. He held membership in the Grand Army Post at West Freedom.
