General Notes: Husband - Thomas M. Gallatin


He was educated in the common schools of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and adopted as his own the calling of a farmer. About 1870 he purchased the old homestead of sixty acres and there made his home until 1889, when he bought another farm which he then occupied. This estate consisted of eighty-three and one-half acres and on it he made many valuable improvements, erecting most of the buildings. Politically he was a Democrat, and in religious belief a Presbyterian, being a member and trustee of the church which he attended. Mr. Gallatin was one of those who responded to the call for defenders of the Union. In August, 1864, he enlisted in Company K, Two Hundred and Eleventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and on November 17, 1864, was taken prisoner near Bermuda Hundred and consigned to Libby prison where he remained three weeks. He was then removed to Salisbury, North Carolina, where he was held until February 22, 1865, when he was paroled. On June 20, 1865, he was mustered out of service.
