General Notes: Husband - Hon. David B. Douthett

---

He was educated in the common schools and at Witherspoon Institute. He was engaged in teaching in the public schools of the county from 1857 to 1861, when he enlisted in Company H, One Hundred and Second Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served in the Army of the Potomac until the close of the war, under McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, Meade, and Grant. The principal battles in which he participated are named as follows: Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, White Oak Swamp, Charles City Cross Roads, Malvern Hill, Second Bull Run, Chantilly, Antietam, South Mountain, Williamsport, Second Fredericksburg, Salem Heights, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Mine Run and the Wilderness. He was wounded at Williamsburg, a minie-ball passed through his hat at Fredericksburg, and at the Wilderness, May 5, 1864, he was severely wounded, being shot through the left thigh with a minie-ball. He was sent to Findlay Hospital, Washington, D. C., afterwards to McClellan Hospital, Philadelphia, and then to Pittsburg, whence he returned to his regiment before Petersburg. He took part in the final campaign under Grant, and was mustered out of the service near Washington, D. C., June 28, 1865. Returning to his home he was elected justice of the peace of Forward township, and filled that position ten years. He also served as school director for twelve years, and was president of the Butler County School Directors for a long period. He was postmaster at Brownsdale for three terms, was mercantile appraiser in 1890, and in 1891 was appointed by Governor Pattison a delegate from Pennsylvania to the Farmers National Congress, at Sedalia, Missouri. In 1892 he was elected, on the Republican ticket, to which party he has always belonged, a member of the legislature, receiving 225 more votes than any other candidate on the ticket, and running 100 votes ahead of the national ticket. While serving in the House he secured the passage of a bill to regulate and establish uniform fees to be charged by the justices of the peace, aldermen, magistrates, and constables in Pennsylvania. In November, 1894, he was re-elected for a second term. He was a member of Capt. William Stewart Post, G. A. R., of Evans City, and of Encampment, Number 45, U. V. L. For many years he was one of the leading members of the United Presbyterian church.
