General Notes: Husband - Alexander McClure Linn


He was educated in the public schools, and at the Chambersburg Academy. In September, 1864, he enlisted as a private in an Independent Battery of Light Artillery, recruited at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and served until the close of the war. After the war he returned to Chambersburg, where he worked on his father's farm for a short time, and then went to Washington and Oregon in the employ of the Northern Pacific Railroad, where he remained four years. After a brief visit to his home, he went to Anniston, Alabama, where he engaged with the Woodstock Iron Company for two years. He then entered the employ of the Cumberland Valley Railroad. He filled numerous positions on the road, and became conductor of a passenger express train. He was a man of more than usual culture, and gave much attention to the study of local history and genealogy. He was a member of the National Scotch-Irish Society of America.
