General Notes: Husband - Joseph B. Mechling

---

He was educated in the public school, and at Butler Academy, read law with L. Z. Mitchell, was admit­ted to the bar in 1863, and practiced his profession for a number of years. In April, 1861, he enlisted in Company H, Thirteenth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served three months. He then re-enlisted in Company H, Seventy-eighth regiment, was elected first lieutenant, and served in that command two years. He was for many years identified with the public schools of Butler, as a teacher and superintendent of the borough schools, and was always inter­ested in the advancement of education. Politically, he was a Republican, and though he never sought public office, he was deeply interested in the successes of his party. He resided on a farm in Butler township, and was recognized as an intelligent, progressive citizen.
