General Notes: Husband - John L. Reno

---

He was educated in the common schools and academy at Clarksville, PA. After marriage, they lived one year on a farm, after which he was engaged in a drug store in Orangeville, Ohio, two years, in Toledo two years, and in Erie about eight years. While in Toledo he became interested in the manufacture and sale of mineral paints in Pulaski, PA, which he conducted for ten years, and in which he was very successful. After leaving Erie he located in Clarksville, and spent much of his time traveling in the interest of his paint works, and looking after the interest of a farm which he owned, near Clarksville. He was a volunteer in the first call for troops in the Civil war. He enlisted in Company B, Seventy-sixth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, as a private, and was promoted to first lieutenant, and served till the close of the war. He received a wound in his breast at Deep Bottom, VA, which deterred him from active labors ever after.
