General Notes: Husband - John Schaffner

---

He grew to maturity on the home farm, which he aided in clearing, and received a common school education. In 1865, when nineteen years of age, he enlisted under Captain Shaw in Company D, Seventy-seventh Reg. Penna. Vol. Inf., and was stationed in Texas. Six months after the close of the war, he returned north to Butler County, and farmed the home farm on shares for a period of eleven years. He then worked for Davis, Hand and Dan as master quarryman for four years, after which he turned his attention to contract work. He followed general contracting throughout that section of Pennsylvania and was especially active in paving and tunnel work, and among other contracts, he built a tunnel of 3,450 feet at DuBois, Pennsylvania, and paved fifteen miles of streets in Butler. He had the contract for paving Pittsburg Street in Evans City, it being the first paved street of any of the smaller towns of the county. His residence in Butler was at No. 410 East Clay Street.
Religiously, he was a member of the German Catholic Church at Butler, and a member of the C. M. B. A. In political affiliation, he was a Republican.
