General Notes: Husband - Capt. Christian Dale


He was born and raised on the old homestead, where he worked through the summer season, and taught school during the winters. On the breaking out of the Civil war, he offered his services to his country, enlisting at Boalsburg, and was made fourth cor­poral Company G, 49th P. V. I. On January 11, 1863, he was transferred to Company C, and promoted to sergeant. On December 24, 1863, he re-enlisted as a veteran; on March 4, 1864, he was commissioned a second lieutenant, and De­cember 18, following, was promoted to first lieu­tenant. On May 17, 1864, he received a shell wound, and on June 9, 1865, he became captain of Company H. He participated in every en­gagement in which his regiment took part, and his record was a brilliant and daring one through­out the war. At the close of the war he re­turned with the regiment, and, coming home, re­sumed the life of a farmer. He started a grist­mill on his place near Pleasant Gap, which was known as Logan Mills. For many years he was secretary of the Centre County Fire Insurance Company, P. of H. He was a mem­ber of the Union Veterans Legion No. 59, of Bellefonte, and was their colonel in 1894; he was also a member of Post No. 95, G. A. R., of Bellefonte.
