General Notes: Husband - Joseph Troxel

---

Utahville, Clearfield Co, PA

In 1859 he removed to Becaria town­ship, where he purchased 100 acres of timber land, which he transformed into a rich and productive tract. It became one of the most desirable farms of the locality, and was improved with a substantial two-story frame residence, barns and other necessary outbuildings. He superintended the management of the place, and at the same time conducted his store in Smoke Run, where he carried a large stock of general merchandise, and re­ceived from the public a liberal patronage. His business efforts were interrupted, how­ever, in 1864, by his enlistment in the Union army on the 14th of September. He served under Capt. Welkerson, in the Heavy Artillery, and went to Fortress Monroe, where, after spending about five days, he was taken ill with bilious fever and diarrhea. He was then sent to the Port Hospital, where he remained four­teen days. After recruiting he was detailed as hospital cook and took full charge of the cuisine, having from eighty to one hundred men to cook for. An accident caused serious injury to him while thus employed, he receiving a rupture in the left groin, and he was too weak, not having gained strength, and to add to his weakness the heat was too strong for his eyes, one of which was entirely destroyed, and the other was badly injured. Mr. Troxel cooked the first meal for Jefferson Davis after he was imprisoned at Fort­ress Monroe. The Confederate President refused to partake of the food furnished, but was glad enough to accept the second offered. After an honorable discharge, Mr. Troxel returned to his home, and was thereafter identified with the business interests of Becaria township. [CBRCP, 690]
