General Notes: Husband - Daniel Day

---

He first attended school in a log cabin twelve feet square, which was erected on the home place. At the age of eighteen years he entered the employ of A. B. Wolf, a cabinet maker of Washington, Pennsylvania, with whom he remained two years, then passed several months in Pittsburgh. In 1847 went to Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, where he opened a cabinet, furniture and undertaking establishment. In 1854 he sold out and entered a hotel in Waynesburg, which he conducted about eighteen months, then managed the "Old Mansion House" in Washington, Pennsylvania, in partnership with his brother Harvey, continuing in that business three years. In 1861 he enlisted, under Capt. Wishart, in Company K, Eighth Pennsylvania Reserves. He joined the regiment at Washington, D. C., then went to Tenallytown, Maryland, where his regiment was encamped with others of the same division, remaining there about two months. During this time they were engaged in no active service, but were employed on picket duty and incidental work, although alarms were often heard along the Potomac line. In October they moved to winter quarters at Pierrepont (or Langley), Virginia, and in the spring entered active service. Mr. Day took part in the Seven Days' Fight before Richmond, Virginia, second battle of Bull Run, and entered Maryland with his regiment. His health failing, he was then sent to the hospital, and afterward received an honorable discharge. After his return from the war in 1863, Mr. Day, in 1865, entered the furniture and undertaking business at Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.
He was an active member of the Democratic party, and served multiple terms as burgess of Canonsburg, and was notary public for over a decade. He and his family were members of the Episcopal Church.
