General Notes: Husband - William A. Gabby


He was born on the old home farm in Franklin township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and there passed his early life, attending school and Washing-ton College. He then entered the war of the Re-bellion, enlisting August 28, 1861, in Company A, One Hundredth P. V. I., and was sent to South Carolina under T. W. Sherman, against Beaufort Island, and under Burnside to Kentucky and Ten-nessee; thence marching under Grant he took part in the siege of Knoxville. Mr. Gabby then reenlisted December 28, 1863, for three years more, and was sent to the army of the Potomac. During the war he took part in the following engagements: Fort Wagner, Second Bull Run, Chantilly, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Vicksburg, evacuation of Jackson, siege of Knoxville, Wilder-ness, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbor, Petersburg and the mine explosion which occurred there. During one battle a bullet struck Mr. Gab-by's canteen, but he escaped any injury, and was one of the participants in the grand review at Washington. He was discharged from the service July 26, 1865.
