General Notes: Husband - William E. Hewitt

---

He remained on the home farm up to the age of twenty, and had such school advantages as the neighborhood afforded, besides one winter at a select school. He enlisted, Oct. 18, 1861, at Kersey, Elk County, in Company F, 58th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, for three years. After short service under General Wool he fell under command of General Grant with whom he remained. Being stationed at Fortress Monroe at the time of the Merrimac-Monitor fight, he was an eye witness of that historic battle. He was a faithful soldier and for bravery in action won the commendation of superior officers. He re-enlisted as a veteran and remained in service until February, 1866, and received an honorable discharge with the rank of corporal. During long marches blood vessels in his leg burst, which in time caused permanent lameness. He then began teaching school, in Elk County, following the profession for fifteen terms. In 1889 he moved to Brockwayville and was for a time partner in the firm of Burchfield & Co., grocery and meat dealers, but was principally engaged as a traveling salesman, becoming one of the best known and popular men covering that territory. He held various offices while living in Fox township, and was a member of the Republican party. Socially he belonged to Ridgway Lodge, F. & A. M.; to St. Mary's Post, No. 216, G. A. R.; to Washington Camp No. 403, P. O. S. of A.; and to the A. O. U. W. His religious connection was with the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he was steward.
