General Notes: Husband - Thomas Taylor

---

He was educated in the public schools of Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and worked at farming until the outbreak of the civil war, when he enlisted in 1862 in Company G, 155th Regiment Penn­sylvania Volunteer Infantry. He saw hard service with the Army of the Potomac, and left on a southern battle field his right leg, a pledge of his devotion to the flag of our coun­try. He was engaged at Fredericksburg, Chan­cellorsville, Gettysburg, and at the explosion of the mine in front of Petersburg, where he lost his right leg. After months spent in a Washington hospital, during which time Presi­dent Lincoln was assassinated, he was dis­charged June 25, 1865. In the spring of 1867 he located in Emlenton, Pennsylvania, where for thirty years he was toll collector at the river bridge. During this period he had be­come financially interested in a jewelry busi­ness, and when the bridge was made free he actively associated with that business. He con­tinued there until 1910, then sold out, and has since lived a retired life, enjoying the fruits of a life of honorable labor. He is a Repub­lican in politics, and a member of the Lutheran church. He is a past noble grand of Emlenton Lodge, No. 644, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and is a comrade of Emlenton Post, No. 248, Grand Army of the Republic. [GPHAV, 873]
