General Notes: Husband - Byram M. Fullerton


He was about eight years of age when his father was killed by the machinery in a mill, and owing to this occurrence he received but a limited education. At this early age he worked for Archie McGrew, and some two years later went to the family of Charles Goehring, residents in the vicinity of Irwin, where he resided some eight years. In 1863 he enlisted in Company K, Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, known as the Anderson Cavalry, and served with them until the close of hostilities, being discharged at Nashville, Tennessee, in June, 1865. Upon his return to civil life he again took up his residence in Irwin, and the following year was employed in the brickyards at that place. He then went to work on the farm of Henry Greenawalt, of Sewickley township, who subsequently became his father-in-law, and after his marriage he removed to the upper end of the farm and cultivated a portion of the estate until the death of Mr. Greenawalt, at which time the division of the farm was made and Mr. and Mrs. Fullerton received ninety-four acres thereof as their share of the property. The ground was well improved and highly cultivated, and by using the latest improved machinery was made to yield a bountiful harvest, the products being readily disposed of in the nearby markets. Mr. Fullerton served as supervisor of the township for sixteen years, and was also a member of the school board for a number of years. He was a Baptist in religion, a Republican in politics, and affiliated with Colonel J. W. Greenawalt Post No. 399, Grand Army of the Republic, of Cowansburg.

He was a soldier during the Civil War, he enlisted in Co. K, fifteenth Pa. Cavalry and was with Sherman in his march to the sea.

He and his wife were the parents of seven children; only three survived in 1906.
