General Notes: Husband - William Newlen Haymaker


He was by occupation a farmer and was employed thus in Patton township, Allegheny County, for forty years. From there he went to Turtle creek, Allegheny County, where his death occurred. He served as burgess of Turtle Creek one term, and as justice of the peace of Patton township two terms. He was a member of the Presbyterian church.

In August, 1861, Mr. Haymaker joined the 63d regiment P. V., going out as second lieutenant of Com­pany A, attached to the Army of the Poto­mac. During the three years that followed he took part in all the battles of that army from Williamsburg to Cold Harbor; at Savage Station he was shot through the leg by a rifle-ball; at Yorktown he was promoted to first lieutenant and made regimental quartermaster. On the day that Mr. Hay­maker left the army his eldest son, Joseph, then seventeen years old, ran away from school and joined the 4th P. C., serving until the close of the war in the same army, part of the time as orderly on Gen. Warren's staff. He died of consumption, at the age of thirty-one, while practicing law in Pitts­burgh. Two brothers of Quartermaster Haymaker served in the same regiment, one in the 4th cavalry and one in the western army.
Mr. Haymaker was present at the first national meeting of the republican party, to whose principles he always adhered. He was justice of the peace several years, and has filled all the town offices. He was reared in the Presbyterian faith, to which he remained faithful. He was a member of the G. A. R., Veteran Legion, McCandless Lodge, F. & A. M., Pittsburgh.
