General Notes: Husband - Joseph Robbins

---

His education was such as the country schools gave and was discontinued at the age of fifteen, when he went to work on the farm. August 14, 1862, he enlisted in Company A, One Hundred and Fifty-fifth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, Captain A. L. Pearson and Colonel E. J. Allen commanding. He participated in the following battles: Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Aldie, Gettysburg, Wapping Heights, Rappahannock Station, Mine Run, Wilderness, Laurel Hill, Spottsylvania, North Anne River, Telopotomy, Bethesda Church, Cold Harbor, Petersburg-as­sault, Petersburg-Jerusalem, Plank Road, Petersburg-mine explosion, Weldon Railroad and Peebles Farm. This brilliant record came to an end at Hatches Run, where he was wounded in the leg, February 6, 1865. For a week he was in a hospital at City Point, was then transferred to Baltimore for a month, and afterward for a month more to York, Pennsylvania. He left the hospital on a twenty-day furlough home, when this expired returned to York, and was honorably discharged June 2, 1865. He then returned to Westmoreland County, near Stewartsville, and in 1900 retired from active farming to North Irwin, where he purchased property on which he resided. He served on the council and school board, and was a Re­publican in politics. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church, of which he was an elder for several years.
