General Notes: Husband - James Theodore Day

---

He was reared on his father's farm, and trained to a good practical knowledge of farm work. His early mental training was received in the neighborhood schools, from which he obtained an ordinary business education. In beginning business life, he started as a farmer. He entered the Federal army August 12, 1861, as a member of the Twenty-Second Cavalry Regiment, of Pennsylvania Volunteers. He rendered gallant service until September, 1863, when he was honorably discharged on account of disability, resulting from a serious wound received in making a charge near Moorefield, West Virginia. One year later he returned to his home in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
He then gave his exclusive attention to the management of his farm, located at the west end of Sparta, and which was in turn owned by his grandfather, his father and himself. In politics Mr. Day was a Republican. Both he and his wife were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Old Concord.
