General Notes: Husband - John McMillan Harper

---

He was born in Greene County, Pennsylvania, where he grew to manhood, and was educated at Greene Academy. His vocation was that of farming, for which he seemed especially adapted, being a powerful man, six feet and two inches in height, always strong and robust and in the enjoyment of excellent health.

During the Civil War he raised a company of cavalry, of which he was soon elected Major, but by some means was defrauded out of his command. While at home, buying horses for the regiment, at which time he succeeded in getting 600, another was installed Major in his place. He then resigned and returned home, spending the remainder of his life on the farm.
