General Notes: Husband - Henry Bullington Whitehill

---

He was educated in the public schools of the township, and became a soldier during the Civil War. He enlisted when about twenty years of age, on July 5, 1864, and was discharged on December 18, of the same year. He again enlisted on March 15, 1865, being discharged July 2, 1865. During the greater part of his service he was on guard duty; being in the 2d Pennsylvania Regiment on his first enlistment, and in Company K, 56th Pennsyl­vania Regiment during the two later enlist­ments. As a member of the Grand Army of the Republic he was in Post Amos Kiser and Post 475, Shippenville, and was present at the grand review at Washington. After the close of the war he engaged in the lumber busi­ness at Deer creek, and owned a farm in Elk township. He later ceased farming, but had ten producing oil wells on the farm. He was a prominent man in the town­ship, and was school director, being a Re­publican in politics.

An autobiographical statement:
I started in life June 29, 1843, on the old home­stead, and continued to live with my parents there until 1839, when the family moved to the mill at Deer Creek. I went with them and always found a job with them for board and keep until the war of rebellion was fairly on. In May, 1863, enlisted with Colonel Lemmon, of Strattonville, who was trying to organize a regiment for the army but failed to get men enough and disbanded his squad at Pitts­burgh late in June. Was not admitted to the serv­ice, returned home and enlisted again in a short term regiment and started for the seat of war July 7, 1864, was discharged December 18, 1864 entered the U. S. service again in March, 1865, and served until the close of the war in the 36th Pennsylvania Infantry. Was discharged in July, 1865, and re­turned home. Lived at home until 187o. Was then married to Mary E. Maxwell, and started to sail in a little boat of our own. Engaged for a short time in the lumber business, next the oil business. Went from Petersburg, Pennsylvania, to Shippens­ville, Pennsylvania, then moved to farm in Craw­ford county, 1874, made that headquarters until 1876, when I returned to the oil country and engaged in the ups and downs until 1879, when I betook myself to a warmer climate and located in Arkansas City, Arkansas. Spent most of two years there and returned to the Pennsylvania oil fields at North Clarendon, Pennsylvania, where I associated myself with two brothers and embarked in the production of oil. Owned and operated 40o acres of territory until 1891, when I dissolved partner­ship and bought the old homestead of 163 acres in Elk township, Pennsylvania, together with nine producing oil wells thereon, which at this date (March 10, 1913) are still producing some oil. Am at present enjoying life as best I can near the spot where I first saw the light of day.
