General Notes: Husband - Andrew J. Swart


He was reared on a farm, and was educated in the common schools and Waynesburg College, Greene County, Pennsylvania. Under the call for three months' men he enlisted in April, 1861, and was a member of Company E, Twelfth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. He returned home in July, and October 31st of the same year he was married. In August, 1862, he enlisted in a company raised at Amity by Capt. Silas Parker. This company was known in the service as Company D, One Hundred and Fortieth Pennsylvania Volunteers, commanded by Col. R. P. Roberts, who was killed at Gettysburg. Mr. Swart was wounded July 2, 1863, at the battle of Gettysburg. He remained in the hospital on the field for about two weeks, and was then removed to the hospital at Annapolis, Maryland, where he remained until October of the same year, when he was given a furlough and sent home. After the expiration of his furlough he reported at Philadelphia, and was placed in a hospital there, where he remained until March, 1864, when he was transferred to a Pittsburgh hospital, in which he remained until September, 1864, when he received his discharge. Thereafter he gave a superintending care to his farm, being by his wounds unfitted for severe manual labor.
Mr. Swart was a member of the Methodist Protestant Church, a member of the William F. Templeton G. A. R. Post, of Washington, Pennsylvania., and also of Ten-Mile Lodge, I. O. O. F.
