General Notes: Husband - Jeremiah S. Biery

He was reared to the life of the farmer boy. Across the peaceful way of life, however, broke suddenly the strife of Civil War and he enlisted as a drummer boy when only sixteen years of age. He was a member of Company E, Seventy-eighth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry; entered the United States service at Kittanning, September 20, 1861, Captain J. N. Hosey, Colonel William R. Sewell. He was later appointed a teamster and took part in many engagements, including the great and sanguinary battle of Lookout Mountain. Besides Lookout Mountain, he was in battles of Bowling Green, Bacon Creek, Stone River, Pulaski, Green River, Chicamauga, Chattanooga and Mission Ridge, Dalton, Atlanta, Nashville. He was invalided to Brigade Hospital at Pulaski, because of serious attack of typhoid. He reenlisted in August, 1864. He received his honorable discharge at the close of hostilities and returned directly to his home in Pennsylvania and to his interrupted occupation.
