General Notes: Husband - Richard Monjar Hoffman


He was born October 19, 1836. [DDM, 265] Cemetery book says year of birth is 1837.
He was reared on the homestead and educated in the schools of the township. In 1861 he enlisted in Company K, Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalry, and served until the close of the war; he participated in all of the battles fought by the Army of the Potomac; at the battle of Sulphur Springs all that reported of his company of the rank and file were one officer and two privates, he being one of them; at the battle of Hatcher's Run he was the color bearer, and received from General Gregg a furlough for standing to his colors when the regiment broke, his action causing them to rally. After the close of the war he farmed until 1876, when he engaged in the oil business. He also operated a hotel near Clintonville in the oil excitement of 1876. He was a member of the Church of God, and politically a Republican. [HVC 1890, 998]
