General Notes: Husband - Jacob Rickenbaugh

---

He attended the public schools of Walker township, Juniata County, Pennsylvania, during the winter months, working during the summer on the farm. The advantages offered by the schools were but slender, so that he was, in the main, self-educated. On July 12, 1864, he enlisted at Harrisburg in the One Hundred and Ninety-fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers, Col. William B. Elder, commanding. The regiment was employed principally for guard duty at Baltimore, and was mustered out at the expiration of four months, November 11, 1864. The following spring Mr. Rickenbaugh became clerk in a general store at Mifflintown, where he remained two years. He was then clerk for two years in a store at Mexico, at the expiration of which time he bought out his employer, and for fourteen years conducted a general store with success. He then purchased the Mexico flour mills, belonging to the Hetrick heirs, which he improved at great expense, putting in rolls and all the latest and best machinery, and making it one of the finest mills in the country.
For six years or more he was a school director in Mexico, having been secretary of the board for three terms, and treasurer for two terms. The family was connected with the United Presbyterian church. Mr. Rickenbaugh was a Republican. For twelve years, he filled the position of postmaster at Mexico, giving entire satisfaction to all the patrons of the office.
