General Notes: Husband - Jacob Holben

---

Langville, Jefferson Co, PA

He was a farmer, and carried on extensive operations in Red Bank township, Armstrong County, PA. When his country had need of his services during the Civil War, although he was married at the time, he en­listed and served for three years, participat­ing in many important battles. Returning home he resumed farming thus continuing un­til within eight years of his death, when he moved to South Bethlehem, Armstrong County, where he rounded out his useful life. A Re­publican, he held all the township offices, and also acted as an administrator and executor in the settlement of many estates. In religious matters he was a member of the New Salem United Evangelical Church, but attended the Methodist Church before he died.
