General Notes: Husband - James Johnston Oatman

---

He taught public school. In 1861 he enlisted in Company B, 11th Pennsylvania Reserves; served three and a half years; was at the battle of Peach Orchard, where on June 29, 1862, he received a fracture of the skull and was left on the field for dead, but later fell into the hands of the Confederates and was taken to Libby prison, remaining there three months. After the close of the war he taught a year as principal of the Ebensburg high school; studied medicine, graduating in 1867 from Jefferson Medical College; located first at Carrolltown, Cambria County; in 1870 graduated from Hahnemann Homeopathic College; located in Altoona, where he built up a large practice. In 1897 his wound in the head so affected his health that he was obliged to abandon practice. He died soon after, at his home, No. 1700 Fifth avenue, Altoona, Pennsylvania, from the effects of his injury received in the line of duty, but his widow was refused a pension.
