General Notes: Husband - Isaac Sayre


He received his school training in the old log-cabin schools so common in those early days, and began life for himself as a farmer when twenty-one years old. His farm was then a wilderness, but he cleared every acre of it.
He enlisted during the Rebellion in Company B, Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, serving from September 13, 1863, to July 29, 1865. He was in several engagements, and at the battle of Gettysburg was shot through the right foot, which has made him a cripple for life. This occurred in the same charge in which Gen. Farnsworth was killed. While in the service he contracted a throat affection which troubled him considerably for years afterward.
Mr. Sayre was been Township Assessor, Assistant Collector, and Return Judge of Elections. Held offices in the order of the A. O. U. W. Was a member of the Baptist Church since he was twenty-one years old. In politics was a stanch Republican. When fourteen years of age he walked barefooted four miles to hear Judge Pettis make a Republican speech.
