General Notes: Husband - Henry Clay Holter

---

He remained at the old home in Howard township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, until he was about nineteen years of age, assisting in the farm work and attending the neighboring schools. He displayed decided mechanical ability, and making choice of the carpenter's trade began an apprenticeship in 1862. The "dark days" of the Rebellion were drawing on, and every loyal man felt the prompting within to aid as he could in the preservation of the Union. Young as he was, Mr. Holter left the carpenter's bench after six months of his apprenticeship had passed, and went to the front as a member of Company D, 45th P. V. I., under Capt. Austin Curtin. He continued in the service until the army was disbanded, and received but one wound, and that a slight one, although he saw much severe fighting, especially in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Bethesda Church, Cold Harbor, North Anna, the long struggle before Petersburg and the final combat with Lee's forces. He was mustered out July 17, 1865, but he was for some time a member of the 46th Regiment Pennsylvania Militia. In 1876 he joined Centre County Veteran Club.
On his return from the war Mr. Holter resumed his work as an apprentice, and completed his preparation for his trade, which he then followed successfully, six sawmills being among his list of large buildings constructed. In 1876 he added undertaking; and in this branch of work he formed a partnership in 1892 with J. H. Schenck.
To mention the various offices which he held would be to enumerate all the important places on the local ticket. He was school director nine years; town councilman six years; overseer of the poor two years; chief burgess one term; assessor one year; county collector two years; supervisor one year; and for three years was secretary of the school board. He was a prominent member of the Grand Army Post, No. 262, at Howard, and served five years as commander and three as adjutant. He also held the leading offices in the Patriotic Order Sons of America before their disbandment. While he was not identified with any church, he gave generous support to all religious and philanthropic enterprises.
