General Notes: Husband - George I. Zufall


He grew to manhood at the old family homestead, his education being acquired at the local school, where he attended three months each winter, during boyhood. In 1864 he enlisted in Company B, 206th P. V. I., under Col. Brady, and after a short stay at Camp Reynolds for drill and equipment, was sent to Baltimore, and from there he went by boat to City Point, Virginia. His regiment marched to Bermuda Hundred, where the men lay in the open field one night, then proceeded to Peach Orchard to join the forces under Gen. Grant. For a time they served on picket duty at Crow's Nest, and then, marching to Dutch Gap, they built Fort Brady, where they remained until in October, 1864, when they marched to winter quarters at Fort Harrison, in front of Richmond. Their time was mainly spent in guard duty until the evacuation of Richmond by Lee's forces, in April, 1865, when they packed up their belongings and marched into the deserted city, picking up a number of prisoners on the way. The regiment, which was the first of the Union army to enter the city, encamped for the first night in Capital Square, and then took up their quarters at the Poor House, where they remained until June, 1865. They received their discharge papers at Lynchburg, June 26, 1865, and, returning to Camp Reynolds, were mustered out of the service on July 3rd. On coming home Mr. Zufall resumed his work at the homestead, which he had purchased before his father's death. He married and, after keeping house for a time in the old home, he built for himself a small house on the place. In 1893 he built another residence, a large two-story frame house containing all the modern improvements. He cleared a large portion of the farm, removing the stumps, and his fields were among the most fertile in the township. He took great interest in educational affairs, serving two terms as school director. He was always affiliated with the Republican party, and in his religious views he was a devout Methodist, he and his entire family being leading members of the congregation of Big Run.
