General Notes: Husband - Andrew Large


He was a farmer, carpenter, miller, soldier and statesman, and was captain in the militia, Union artillery. He owned 123 acres of the Finney homestead. He was a strong democrat, and when, on the outbreak of the Civil War, the Union was threatened, he raised Co. C, 102d P. V., and enlisted Aug. 6, 1861, for a three-years term. He participated in the battle of Williamsburg and other engagements, but after ten months' service was stricken with camp fever, from which he never fully recovered.
He filled many township offices, and in 1874 was elected to the house of representatives, and served on the military committee.
