General Notes: Husband - Edward Sefton, Jr.


He was born in Penn township, Butler county, PA, and was reared upon the farm, learned the carpenter's trade, and followed that business in connection with farming. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church, and in politics, he was a Republican. He filled the offices of school director and road commissioner, and was one of the enterprising citizens of his township. On February 14, 1865, he enlisted in Company E, Seventy-eight Pennsylvania Volunteers, was mustered in at Pittsburgh, whence he went to Harrisburg, and was sent to Nashville, Tennessee. He remained at the latter point until September 11, and on his way home was taken sick at Cincinnati with typhoid fever, was brought on to Pittsburgh, but did not recover for eight months. He was honorably discharged at Harrisburg, and then returned to his home.
