General Notes: Husband - William A. St. Clair


He grew to manhood in White township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, where he received his education in the public schools. On Aug. 25, 1864, he became a member of Company F (Capt. John A. Kinter), 206th P. V. I., enlisting for one year or during the war. He served with the Army of the James, was discharged June 26, 1865, at Richmond, Virginia, and returned home, remaining with his parents until he was twenty-five years of age. For some time he conducted a store at Newville, Indiana County, later known as Creekside, where his first wife died. He continued residing in Indiana County until after his second marriage, in 1879, going West to Atchison, Kansas, where he rented land and farmed for two years. Returning to Pennsylvania on account of his wife's health, he moved back to his farm in White township, and in addition to his farm work ran a sawmill. In 1885 he removed to the borough of Indiana, where he built a home, but he continued to operate his farm and sawmill until his retirement. His home was at No. 337 North Ninth street.
He and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church of Indiana, in which he served as elder. He was a Republican in politics, and socially he was united with G. A. R. Post No. 28.
