General Notes: Husband - Alvin H. Stewart


He was a farmer, and assisted his father on the farm for many years. In September, 1862, he enlisted in company D, 134th Pennsylvania infantry, for nine months. After serving almost to the close of his enlistment he was taken prisoner on May 3, 1863, at the battle of Chancellorsville, in which engagement he was slightly wounded. He was reported missing after the battle and no word was received from him for some time. He was taken with many other prisoners to Richmond, Virginia, and put in Libby prison, where he was held for some time. As his regiment had served its term of enlistment it was mustered out and returned home. However, no word had yet been received of the missing soldier. In a few weeks, when it was found that prisoners whose term of service had expired were being held they were released, mustered out and returned to their homes, much to the joy of parents and friends, who had not known of their captivity. He continued to farm, and later purchased a farm in the old neighborhood.
