General Notes: Husband - Daniel L. Rankin


He was reared a farmer and obtained a common school education. He remained on the homestead farm until August, 1861, when he enlisted in Company B, One Hundred and Third Penn­sylvania Volunteers, and served until January, 1864. He then veteranized, re-en­listing in the same company, and served until mustered out, July 13, 1865, with the rank of orderly sergeant. He participated in the battles of Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, Seven Days Fight before Richmond, and Kingston, White Hall and Goldsboro. Besides the battles already mentioned, he took part in many lesser engagements and skirmishes. He was taken prisoner at Plymouth, North Caro­lina, April 20, 1864, and was held in rebel prisons until December 10, following, when he was paroled. He came home on furlough, and was married. He and his wife were members of the Pres­byterian church. He was an ardent Republican, took an active interest in public affairs, and was a candidate for county treasurer in 1893, but did not receive the nomination.
