General Notes: Husband - Thomas R. Hoon
He was reared and educated in his native township. He was employed as a teamster until 1860, then went to Oil Creek, Venango County, Pennsylvania, and engaged in the oil business. In 1862 he enlisted in Company G, One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served his full term; he then re-enlisted in Company I, Sixty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served until the close of the war, participating in the following engagements: South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, the Wilderness, and the closing scenes around Richmond, ending with the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. After being mustered out he returned to the old homestead, where he then engaged in farming.
He became a member of John Randolph Post, G. A. R., also of the Patrons of Husbandry, and both he and his wife were connected with the United Presbyterian church. He was a Republican in politics, and filled most of the township offices. He was the owner of 300 acres of well improved land.
He was at one time sheriff of Butler County, in which position he showed his courage and capacity on the occasion of the capture of the Biddle brothers, of whom he had charge in the hospital jail, and who had to be guarded at the point of a revolver.
