General Notes: Husband - Maj. John S. Nimmon


He left home and began working for his uncle, a tanner, at $4 per month; learned the tanner's trade, and subsequently carried on the business for himself for several years. When the civil war broke out he was among the first to volunteer, and enlisted in Company B, Capt. Deobler, Second Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and served three months; then entered the Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry, and served a short term, when he was promoted to first sergeant, and subsequently to first lieutenant; later was commissioned captain, and at the battle of Five Forks was commissioned major. He served until September, 1865, being detained after the close of the war to settle up the affairs of the regiment. That same fall (September, 1865,) he went to Fannettsburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and engaged in merchandising, at which he continued for five years; then sold out to Mr. Wineman and thereafter was engaged in farming. Later, he lived in retirement at Willow Hill.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
