General Notes: Husband - Thomas P. Seidle

---

Jefferson Twp, Mercer Co, PA
He served in the Civil War in Company B, Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment. He enlisted in 1861 and was taken a prisoner of war in 1862 and confined in the prison-pens of Libby and Andersonville. He participated in numerous battles and was honorably discharged from the service in 1863 on account of deafness.

He enlisted in the War of the Rebellion in August, 1861, under Capt. S. C. Simonton, of the Fifty-Seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. He served in this regiment sixteen months, during which time he was sick with yellow fever, and was taken prisoner and cast into Libby Prison, but was afterward transferred to Castle Thunder, where he remained seven weeks. During this time his hearing was entirely destroyed in his left ear and badly damaged in his right. He was then returned to the Union lines and discharged. In 1863 he enlisted in the State Militia, and was out about four months, when he was discharged.

He and his wife remained five years on his father’s farm, six years in Crawford County, PA, and then purchased from Joshua Bentley a farm of 116 acres in Lackawannock Township, Mercer County, where they settled. His education was obtained principally at the common schools, one term being spent at Kingsville College, Ashtabula County, Ohio. In politics he was a Republican.
