General Notes: Husband - Rev. Russell Madison Felt

---

He was seven years old when he left the farm on which he was born and removed with his parents to Jefferson County, PA, locating near Brockwayville. Until he had attained his majority he remained at home, engaging in both lumbering and farming, and at the age of twenty-two purchased a farm in Snyder township, Jefferson County, which he successfully operated for eight years. In the meantime he had enlisted, August 29, 1864, in Company B, 211th P. V. I., under Capt. Charles McLain. In front of Petersburg, April 2, 1865, he was three times wounded, twice in the left shoulder and once in the neck. For eight hours he lay on the battlefield, and was then taken to City Point hospital, three days later to a hospital in Washington, D. C., where he also remained three days, and from there was transferred to a hospital in Philadelphia, where he was finally discharged. On his return home he resumed farm­ing, but in 1874 he joined the Erie Conference for the purpose of devoting his time to the work of the ministry. For one year he was located at Putneyville, later spent two years in charge of the congregations at Emerickville and Reynoldsville; was then stationed at President, Venango County, one year; three years in Wash­ington township, Clarion County; three years in Rockland; two years in New Bethlehem; two years in Bellevue, Jefferson County; and for five years was pastor of the Church at Sligo. Owing to ill health he retired in 1893, and thereafter made his home in the last-named place.
