General Notes: Husband - James G. Shields


He was born in Plumville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and there was trained to farming, which he followed in his early years. Later he learned the trade of carpenter, at which he was engaged for many years, principally in and around New Alexandria. In 1858 he moved to Lewisville, in Conemaugh township, Indiana County, where he bought a farm of 116 acres upon which he made his home, and there during the remainder of his life he worked at farming and carpentry.
He served his township officially as school director, assessor, supervisor and judge of election, and he was a prominent member of the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church, of which he was a trustee, and served as a member of the building committee.
During the Civil war he served in the Union army as a corporal in Company G, 206th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. Mr. Shields died in his eighty-seventh year, and was buried beside his wife in the Ebenezer Church cemetery.
