General Notes: Husband - Dr. James Reynolds Haun


Soon after he had finished his district school education, he enlisted in 1861 in Co. A, 103d Reg. Pa. Vol. Inf., and served four years, four months and eleven days. He was taken prisoner at Plymouth, North Carolina, and sent to Andersonville Prison, where he was kept for ten months and sixteen days. He was then delivered to the United States Government. Returning from the war, he turned his attention to the study of law, and was admitted to the bar of Clarion County, Pennsylvania, in 1866, and practiced two years. However, he dropped what law practice he had, and secured a collegiate education in the Cannonsburg College. He then studied medicine with Isaac W. Mesce of Shippenville, and graduated from the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia in 1867. He began his practice with Dr. I. W. Mesce in Shippenville, where he remained seven years; he was then a physician in Allegheny City seven years, in Elk City five years, and in Oreville six years. In 1887, he moved to Edenburg, and succeeded the venerable Dr. E. M. Ilgenfritz, and at once proceeded to build up and extend that practice.
He was a stanch Republican in politics. He attended the M. E. Church with his wife, but never made any profession of religion. He was a member of the I. O. O. F., Lodge No. 226 of Clarion County, and was a past grand and royal patron of the Encampment No. 90. He was a charter member of the G. A. R. Post, No. 326 of Wampum, Lawrence County.
