General Notes: Husband - Frederick H. Monnie


He was about eleven years old when the fam-ily came to Pennsylvania, and received what education he possessed in his native land, attending school in America only about two weeks. His father was an invalid and unable to do hard labor; so Frederick and his elder brother, Charles, had to support the family and assist in paying for the homestead, working out by the day and month and turning over their earnings to their parents. At the age of twenty years he began mining coal on the home farm, north of Butler, which he followed for several years. He married, rented a house in Oakland township, and continued mining until July 29, 1861, when he enlisted in Company C, Eleventh Pennsylvania Reserve. He took part in the Seven Days Fight before Richmond, and Second Bull Run. He was then taken sick with fever and sent to the hospital at Point Lookout, Maryland, where he remained for three months. He rejoined his regiment in front of Washington, and served in the battle of Gettysburg, where he was wounded in the right ankle by a minie-ball, on July 2, 1863, and lay in the hospital at York, Pennsylvania, about three months. In the spring of 1864 he was with his regiment at the Wilderness and in front of Petersburg, and participated in all of the engagements in which his regiment took part until mustered out in front of Petersburg, Virginia, August 4, 1864. Returning to his family in Oakland township, he resided there until 1883, when he located on a farm of forty-five acres, lying in the Connoquenessing bottom near Oneida station. He was a stanch Republican, took an active part in political matters, and held the office of tipstaff in 1885. Beginning in about 1890, he was unable to perform hard manual labor, but looked after his farm, and attended to his official duties. [HBC 1895, 1036]
