General Notes: Husband - William Lawrence


His father died when he was six months old; his widowed mother afterward married Jacob Wenk, and in 1847 they immigrated to America, locating in Tionesta, Pennsylvania. He was reared in Tionesta from seven years of age, receiving a common-school education. He was in the Civil War, having enlisted August 19, 1861, in Company G, Eighty-third Pennsylvania Regiment, and was in the battles of Gaines' Mills (where he was wounded, being confined to hospital four months), Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg (where he was again wounded), as well as other engagements, and received an honorable discharge at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in September, 1864. After the war he embarked in the grocery business at Tionesta, at which he was engaged three years; then entered the lumber business. He was a member of the German Reformed Church, of the F. & A. M. and G. A. R. Politically he was a Republican, and served one term as treasurer of Forest County.
