General Notes: Husband - John Culberson


He attended the district schools of his native township, and while still a boy was obliged to earn his living among strangers. He obtained employment from the farmers of Menno township until he was twenty-two, when he began farming on his own account near Milroy. Mr. Culberson enlisted, August 19, 1861, in Company H, Forty-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, under Captain Maclay and Colonel Irwin; after serving for fourteen months, he was discharged on account of disability. Unable to remain at home when his country needed his assistance, he re-enlisted, August 10, 1864, in Company I, One Hundred and Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers, under Captain Edmunds and Colonel Stover, and served until the close of the war. For gallant conduct, he was made quartermaster's sergeant. He was taken prisoner at Hatchers Run, but was soon discharged. He was mustered out July 10, 1865. The war being over, he then returned to his home in Decatur township. Three years after, he removed to Siglerville, and one year later, to a farm in Havice valley, Armagh township, which he cultivated for nineteen years. In 1889, he bought the homestead, taking possession in 1890. His home was pleasantly situated in a beautiful part of Havice valley. He improved the quality of the land by careful cultivation, and has also increased the value of his property by good fences and convenient buildings.
For some time Mr. Culberson identified himself with the Republican party, but for eight or ten years in later life was neutral. He, however, took an active part in local politics, and in all questions that concerned the welfare of the community. He was a member of Colonel Hulings Post, No. 176, G. A. R., Lewistown, Pennsylvania.
