General Notes: Husband - Joseph Hursh

---

North Huntingdon Twp, Westmoreland Co, PA

When a young man his parents moved to near Jacksonville, Pennsylvania, and when war broke out between the North and South, he enlisted in Company H, One Hundred and Thirty-sixth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He was in the desperately fought battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, and was struck in the head by a fragment of bursting shell, his wound a severe one from which recovery seemed doubtful. The wound was over two inches in length and pieces of the skull bone were pressing the brain, but he recovered, and was finally sent home as unfit for military duty. But he later reëlisted in the Fifteenth Regiment, Pennsylvania Cavalry, and served until the end of the war, his regiment being one of the units composing the force which pursued and captured the fleeing president of the Confederacy. After the war he settled on a farm in North Huntingdon township, which he cultivated until about 1888, when ill health compelled him to retire.

He and his wife were the parents of thirteen children, nine of whom were yet living in 1918.
