General Notes: Husband - Charles Henry Gutelius, M.D.

---

He was born in Mifflinburg, Union County, Pennsylvania, and received his early education in the public schools of that town. In 1862 he enlisted as a private soldier in Company D, 150th P. V. I., the famous "Bucktail Regiment," along with two of his brothers, Samuel and Joseph. The company was first detailed to guard duty for President Lincoln at his summer residence at the Soldiers' Home, about three miles north of the city of Washington. Mrs. Lincoln showed her appreciation of the boys by many kind words and distribution of lunch which the boys highly appreciated.
Charles H. Gutelius was discharged for disability before the close of the war, and returned home. After he regained his health he began the study of dentistry under the tutorship of Drs. Harter and Swartz, of Centre County. In 1871 he started for Denver, Colorado, for his health, and while there studied under Dr. Mobery, an Englishman, who was a graduate of both medicine and dentistry. Having spent two years in Denver, Dr. Gutelius returned to Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania, the home of his birth, and opened out an office, and although there were two dentists in the town they soon decided to leave the field. For about seventeen years he was the only dentist in Mifflinburg, but in later years he was glad to turn over a portion of his practice to younger hands, he only doing some special work for old friends, as his health would permit.
