General Notes: Husband - Emer Judson McElwee
He attended the country schools of his native place, and after losing his mother by death at the age of eight years, went to the village of Columbiana, Ohio, where he lived with his uncle and attended the public schools. In the autumn of 1861 he entered Mt. Union college, but left in the following January to enter the service of the Federal government, then engaged in the struggle to crush the Rebellion. On January 6, 1862, he enlisted as a private in Co. B, 43rd reg., Ohio Vols. He served with his regiment for three years and six months, participating in the battles of New Madrid, Missouri, Corinth, Iuka Springs, Mississippi, and all the engagements in which the sixteenth and seventeenth Corps took part, being along with Sherman on his famous march to the sea. At the battle of Atlanta, Georgia, he was slightly wounded. He served six months of the time he was in the army as a hospital steward. His first enlistment was for three years, and on January 1, 1864, he re-enlisted as a veteran and was finally discharged honorably in July, 1865. Several appointments as a non-commissioned officer were offered him but he refused them all. After the close of the war he entered the college of Pharmacy at Saint Louis, Missouri, where he prepared himself for his chosen profession, and from 1867 to 1877 filled many positions as drug clerk in Illinois, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In 1877 he came to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and located at Mt. Pleasant, where he engaged in the drug business and developed a fine store there.
In politics he was a believer in the principles and measures of the Democratic party. He was a member of the Odd Fellows, Royal Arcanum, A. O. U. W., Heptasophs, and was identified with the Presbyterian church at Mt. Pleasant.
