General Notes: Husband - John Vance

---

He was a soldier in Company H, One Hundred and Fortieth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and took part in most of the important battles in which that regiment was engaged, with the exception of those that took place while he was in the hospital, recovering from wounds received in action; in the battle of the Wilderness he sustained an injury from the enemy's fire that made him a lifelong cripple, also in the first charge of Hancock's corps at the famous "Bloody Angle" and again a slight wound at the battle of Gettysburg.
Beginning in 1873 he was a contractor of Newark, Ohio.
