General Notes: Husband - Jesse Coover

---

When he was two years of age his parents moved from Greene to Waterford township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, and in the schools of the latter he obtained his education, from the time of the completion of his school course until he was eighteen years of age assisting his father on the home farm. As soon as he attained an age that made him eligible for service he hastened to enlist in the Union army then engaged in the War of the Rebellion. The nearest recruiting point was Ridgway, and thither he hastened, being enrolled on April 5, 1864, in Company A, One Hundred and Second Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, which was ordered to Danville, Kentucky; Washington, District of Columbia, and subsequently to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, never being actively engaged. His term of enlistment had been for one year, but the close of the war brought him his honorable discharge in July, 1864. He then returned to his home and for two years worked on the home farm, then going to Wattsburg, Pennsylvania, where for about three years he received instruction in the harnessmaker's trade from R. O. Cushan. Becoming master of this occupation, he moved to Waterford, and for about four years was employed in the shoe factory of A. D. Johnson, in 1873 establishing in the harnessmaking business in that town. For thirty-seven years his was the chief harnessmaking shop in that locality, the work of that nature from the whole neighborhood finding its way to his bench. In 1910, after such a long and honorable record of active and continuous service, he retired in favor of his son, George W., and thereafter lived retired.
He was a member of the Waterford Post, Grand Army of the Republic.
