General Notes: Husband - James Samuel Power

---

He received the ordinary training of a country boy. In August, 1861, he was en-rolled in Co. B, 63d P. V. I., and joined the Army of the Potomac; took part in the bat-tles of Yorktown, Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, and on the sixth of the seven days' fight, June 30, 1862, on the Peninsula, was shot through the left lung, and taken prisoner. After nineteen days in Libby prison he was exchanged and discharged. He lay in Bellevue hospital, New York, from July, 1862, to March, 1863, being paralyzed in the right side for many weeks (from effects of his wound), and for the rest of his life carried the ball which maimed him in the region of his right scapula. He held the rank of first lieutenant, and was shot while in command of his company. After leaving the hospital he superintended the proving-ground on the Allegheny Valley railroad, for testing heavy ordnance made at Fort Pitt foundry, Pittsburgh, PA, for a year, then entered the Veteran Reserve Corps; was stationed for some time at Gieseboro Point (near Washing-ton, D. C.), and while there was called out in command of Co. K, 16th Regt. V. R. C., to oppose a rebel raid on Washington, in 1864; went to Harrisburg, thence to Fishing creek to quell a draft insurrection; thence to Chambersburg, to York, and again to Har-risburg. At the last place he was ordered by Secretary Stanton to arrest Laura Keene and her troupe, consisting of Harry Hawk and a Mr. Diott, on suspicion of complicity in President Lincoln's assassination, which he did, and detained them at Harrisburg, PA, for a week. In December, 1865, he was ap-pointed assistant commissioner of the Sea islands, on the coast of South Carolina, with headquarters at Beaufort; remained two years, and returning north settled at Turtle Creek. For more than fifteen years he was justice of the peace, although an avowed democrat in a strong republican dis-trict. He was a member of the H. B. Hayes Post, G. A. R., 199. [HAC 1889, II 445]
