General Notes: Husband - Robert H. Harbison

---

He was born on the homestead farm, in Jefferson township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. He was reared a farmer, and has always followed that vocation. In 1864 he enlisted in Company E, One Hundred and Twelfth Pennsylvania Volunteers, but the regiment having a surplus beyond the required number, he, with the others were formed into a provisional regiment, known as the Second Pennsylvania Volunteer Artillery, in which he served in Company B. Towards the close of March, 1864, the regiment went to Washington, D. C., thence to Alexandria, where it guarded provision trains to Brandy Station, and there joined the Army of the Potomac, marched to Mine Run, and took part in the first battle of the Wilderness. After the battles of Spottsylvania Court House, North Anna River, Gaines Mill, and Cold Harbor, the regiment crossed the James river, and occupied the first line of works in front of Petersburg, June 16, 1864. It took part in the first attack on the second line of works, on the evening of the 17th, and captured and held that line, until the mine explosion, July 30, 1864. It was in all of the succeeding engagements down to the surrender of Lee, at Appomattox, Mr. Harbison was honorably discharged from the service, at Philadelphia, June 29, 1866. Returning to Butler County, he resumed his farm duties.
Politically, he was a Republican.
