General Notes: Husband - Edward Cox Negley

---

He was educated at Keating Academy and at Jefferson College, where he studied law. At the opening of the Civil war he forsook his studies and joined the Union army, enlisting in the One Hundred and Thirty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteer Artillery. He served in all twenty-three months. He was with the Army of the Potomac and participated in the battles of Antietam, Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg. His last service was in the First Independent Brigade, holding Sherman's line of communications. He enlisted as a private, but left the service as first lieutenant. Upon his return from the army he engaged in the grocery business at East Liberty, continuing until 1868, when he applied for and soon received the appointment for a clerkship in the Pittsburgh postoffice. In 1873, under President U. S. Grant, he was appointed postmaster at Pittsburgh and held the office until 1877, when he was appointed deputy sheriff of Allegheny County. Later he was assistant and finally secretary of the department of charities for the city. In 1890 he was elected alderman from the Nineteenth ward of the city and was reelected numerous times. In 1902 he was appointed police magistrate under Mayor Brown. This he held eleven months and again, in 1903, was made police magistrate. Politically Mr. Negley was always a supporter of the Republican party. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and was the commander of Post No. 117, at Pittsburgh.
