General Notes: Husband - Samuel C. Dewoody

---

He was a blacksmith by trade.

Civil War: He enrolled as a private of Company G, Sixty-third Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, on 1 August 1861 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He straggled from the company in November, 1862, and again in June, 1863, and this time was sentenced by general court martial to stoppage of pay ten dollars a month for six months. At the end of his three years he reenlisted January 4, 1864. During the siege of Petersburg, he was captured on June 22, 1864, confined briefly at Richmond, transferred to Lynchburg, and finally paroled at Charleston in December. He was mustered out at Arlington Heights May 29, 1865, but soon reenlisted in the regular army, serving three years, 1866-1869, in Company H, Nineteenth U.S. Infantry. In later years he peddled notions. His veteran's pension was fifty dollars a month when he died.
