General Notes: Husband - George E. Seebold


From the age of ten years he resided at the same home, eventually owning 100 acres of valuable land, which he successfully cultivated. He also owned and operated a chopping-mill for his own use. He began his education at Penn's Creek school, on the Sanders farm; later he attended the Union Seminary at New Berlin, and was the first teacher to have charge of the new school at Wehr's Hotel, where he successfully taught for two terms.
On the outbreak of the Civil war it was his desire to enlist, but his father opposed. Finally, on February 28, 1865, at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, he enlisted in Company D, 74th P. V. I., and joined the regiment near Cumberland, Maryland. He was mostly engaged in guard duty in West Virginia, protecting the property of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and at the time of Lee's surrender he was stationed at Clarksburg, that state, where he was honorably discharged August 27, 1865. He was never wounded or off duty on account of illness.
He was a stanch Republican in politics, and served as school director. He and his wife were both worthy members of the Lutheran Church.
