General Notes: Husband - William S. Craft


He passed his boyhood days on the home farm in Morris township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and in August, 1862, enlisted in Company K, Sixteenth P. V. C. and was sent to the army of the Potomac. He took part in the principal battles, and at the close of the war came out unwounded with the exception of a slight bruise made by a ball. On his return from the war he operated a portable sawmill four years, then commenced farming. He first settled on a farm in Morris township, near Prosperity, remaining there two years when he moved to East Finley township, living there one year; thence removed to West Finley township, and eleven years afterward bought and took possession of a home in South Strabane township. Mr. Craft engaged in the dairy business for some years, and had a herd of twenty cows, which supplied a large city custom. Politically he voted the Democratic ticket, and was interested in all public enterprises. When a youth he united with the M. E. Church at Mt. Zion, Morris township, but after removing to his later home he attended the Presbyterian Church at Washington.
