General Notes: Husband - Ephraim C. Ludwig


He attended school until seventeen years of age and was then employed on his father’s farm. In the meantime he learned the carpenter’s trade which he followed successfully for forty years. February 29, 1864, he enlisted at a point in Ringgold county, Iowa, while there on a visit, joining at Davenport, Iowa, Company H, Twenty-ninth Iowa Regiment, under Thomas H. Benton, and was sent to Memphis, Tennessee, and from there to Little Rock, Arkansas, where they remained eleven months, and from there went to New Orleans, from which city they were taken by transport to Mobile, Alabama, where they engaged in battle, driving the rebel forces out of their rifle-pits and capturing eight thousand of the Confederate soldiers. From there the command was sent to Galveston, Texas. Mr. Ludwig was within eight miles from headquarters of Emperor Maximillian, of Mexico. At the close of the Civil war, he was honorably discharged at New Orleans and returned to West Salem Township, Mercer County, PA, and followed the carpenter’s trade. He purchased a farm in 1900 and then later retired from active work. In politics, he was a Republican. He was a member of the Baptist church.
