General Notes: Husband - Samuel C. Work
On August 13, 1861, he enlisted in Company I, First Pennsylvania Cavalry, and being assigned to the army of the Potomac took part in most of the engagements participated in by that division of the army; was wounded August 14, 1864, six days after the expiration of his term of service, while in command of a squadron, and he received an honorable discharge September 9, 1864.
He followed farming and stock raising with marked success, and was one of the foremost breeders of Spanish Merino sheep of the Delaine type. He was one of the most ardent supporters of education in both Church and State; and to his perseverance and energy there now stands the Buffalo Academy, it being the third academy erected in this part of Hopewell township. Politically he was an enthusiastic supporter of the doctrines embodied in the Republican platform, being a counselor of that party, and held several township offices. He and his wife and children were members of the Presbyterian Church at Buffalo village.
