General Notes: Husband - Enos G. Nolph


He was born at New Bethlehem, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared, working with his father up to the age of sixteen years. He had by that time become quite familiar with the lumber business, which he followed until the Civil war broke out, shortly afterwards, in July, 1861, joining Company L, 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, and serving to the end of the struggle, being honorably discharged Sept. 15, 1865. His service was arduous but interesting, his command being attached to the Army of the Potomac under Sheridan up to the time of Lee's surrender. At Reams Station, he was shot through the right knee, and following this he was promoted to the rank of corporal and later sergeant. His army service ended, he returned to Clarion County, and for two years afterwards suffered poor health as a consequence of the hardships of military life. When able to resume activities he ran a sawmill on the Clarion river and was so engaged for ten years; for many years following he was employed as an expert saw filer at various mills. Meantime, in 1874, he had bought a farm in Oliver township, Jefferson County, which he cultivated for three years. In 1882 he removed to Cool Spring, where he operated a handle factory very successfully for a period of eight years, and also held the position of postmaster at that place for a number of years, becoming one of the best known residents of the town. In October, 1911, he removed to Punxsutawney, where he enjoyed his days in leisure. He was a member of the Church of God.
