General Notes: Husband - Henry C. Stafford

---

He was brought up on his father's farm and received the benefits of the tuition at the Waterford Academy. Healthy, patriotic and enthusiastic, he promptly responded to the country's call for volunteers to suppress the rebellion, and at twenty years of age he enlisted in the 83d P. V. I., which was quickly dispatched to the front and quickly brought to battle with the foe. At the second battle of Bull Run. Aug. 30, 1862, between sunrise and sunset, he received five gunshot wounds, the last perforating his left lung. He was left prostrate on the field, and so remained unattended for three days and nights. He fell into the hands of the enemy, but was immediately paroled on the field, and carried to Alexandria. He remained for a while in the hospital there, afterward being removed to Washington City. He bore the pains of his slowly healing wounds with much fortitude. Jan. 29, 1863, he received his discharge from the army and returned home; his avoirdupois at this time, including his ordinary wearing apparel, was just eighty pounds. He recuperated in health, and served until near the close of the war in the Provost Marshal's office at Waterford. The war ended, he returned to his farm; subsequently became Constable, Tax Collector, Deputy Sheriff, and Warden of Erie County Prison, and, by election in 1879, High Sheriff, and July, 1883, was appointed by the General Government Collector of the Port at Erie.
