General Notes: Husband - Alpheus Altman


In September, 1862, when just eighteen years of age, he enlisted in Company B, Sixty-seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and joined his regiment at Annapolis, Maryland. He served throughout the entire war and was discharged June 20, 1865. He saw much active service and most of the members of his regiment were captured at Winchester, Virginia, when the Confederates were marching north into Pennsylvania, before the battle of Gettysburg. He spent one night in Libby Prison, and was then sent to Belle Isle. He was paroled and retained in the parole camp at Annapolis until he was exchanged, when he rejoined his regiment at Culpeper, Virginia. He was soon again in the midst of active service and took part in all the engagements of the Sixth Army Corps of the Army of the Potomac and was present at Appomattox Court House at the surrender of General Lee. He also participated in the Grand Review at Washington. After the close of hostilities he returned to his father's farm in Pennsylvania, and five years later he gained possession of part, which included about one hundred and ten acres. For many years thereafter he devoted his efforts wholly to the operation of his place as a general farm.
He was a member of George Cribbs Post, Grand Army of the Republic, at Greensburg.
