General Notes: Husband - Abraham L. Line


He and his wife resided on a farm, which descended to him from his mother's branch of the Line family, and had been in the possession of the family for the previous fifty years. It was a fine property of 120 acres of fertile and well-improved land, and included one of the finest picnic grounds in the county.
He enlisted, in July, 1862, in Company A, One Hundred and Thirtieth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He was assigned to the Army of the Potomac, and served in the historic campaigns in Virginia and Maryland; he took part in the hard-fought battles of South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville; he received a slight wound at Antietam, and was honorably discharged in May, 1863, after having risen, by promotion, to the rank of fourth sergeant.
Mr. Line was for many years a Republican in politics, but later was an earnest Nationalist. He took great interest in public affairs, especially in the cause of education, and served his township as school director.
