General Notes: Husband - Daniel Slagle

---

He had few educational opportunities in his youth. The school was three miles distant, and he attended only three months in all. But he made up for early deficiencies by intelligent application and hard work. At the age of fourteen he started to work away from home, continuing thus until he was eighteen, at which time he enlisted in the Union army for service in the Civil war. On Aug. 14, 1861, he joined Company B, 78th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, at Kittanning, Armstrong County, and was sent to Camp Wright, above Pittsburgh, remaining there two weeks. He then joined Gen. James S. Negley's brigade, going by boat to Louisville, Kentucky. The command then started through Kentucky and Tennessee, going to Chattanooga. While on skirmish duty at Elkton, Alabama, in July, 1862, he was wounded in the right eye, losing its sight, and on Jan. 2, 1863, at the battle of Stone River, he received an injury in his right forearm, being disabled until March 11, 1863. He was in the field hospital at Nashville. Rejoining his company at Murfreesboro, he was in the campaign through Georgia, took part in the battles of Chickamauga, Resaca, Deep Gap, Atlanta campaign, and Lookout Mountain, being under fire for forty-two days and nights, and after the battle of Atlanta went back to Chattanooga. They were engaged in guarding trains for three months, and Mr. Slagle's time then expiring he received his discharge, Nov. 2, 1864, and returned to his home. The whole regiment at Nashville went out to drive General Wheeler out of Tennessee, going to a point on the Tennessee railroad to Pulaski and other places, being thus occupied for two months, returning to Nashville. Then they went by boat to Pittsburgh.
After his return from the army Mr. Slagle followed mining for fourteen years, being thus employed at Parker, Armstrong County, and in Apollo, Westmoreland County, where for nine years he looked after the opening of mines for N. Beal. In 1882 he settled at Templeton, in Pine township, Armstrong County, and bought a home, and there he resided. He owned considerable real estate in the village, and was thoroughly identified with its activities. For eight years he was justice of the peace. He was township auditor several terms, was supervisor of the township three years under the new act, and was collector and treasurer for three years, resigning in the autumn of 1910, when he went out to Oregon, purchasing a twenty-acre fruit tract near Rainier, in Columbia County. He was always a stanch Democrat in politics, and did good work for his party in the locality.
