General Notes: Husband - John F. Hosterman

---

During his boyhood and youth he pursued his studies in the schools of Shippenville, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. In October, 1861, he enlisted at Kittanning, Pennsylvania, for three years, in Company M, Second Pennsylvania Cavalry, and was a member of the Army of the Potomac. His term of service having expired, he was honorably discharged in October, 1864. Returning to his home in Shippenville, he engaged in carpenter work. He lived at home with his father, until the latter's death, assisting in the work of the tannery, and then engaged in carpentering and farming. He owned twenty acres of land inside the corporation limits. Beginning in 1886 he was interested in the oil business, and in that enterprise also met with good success.
