General Notes: Husband - William W. Fiscus

---

He was reared in his native township and received his education in the common schools and a select school near Leechburg, Pennsylvania, which he attended for one year. In 1862, at the age of eighteen years, he enlisted in Co. C, 139th regiment, Pennsylvania Vols., was wounded at the battle of Fredericksburg and after being in the hospital for some time was discharged. In the early part of the autumn of 1864 he enlisted in Co. H, 204th regiment of Pa. Vols., and served until the close of the war, when he was mustered out of the United States service on June 18, 1865. He participated in all the skirmishes and engagements in which his regiment was engaged. After the war he was engaged for about nine years in mining and then entered the rolling-mill at Leechburg, where he was a heater for eight years. In 1884 he was a republican candidate for treasurer of Armstrong County and was elected by a handsome majority. In 1888 he was nominated for sheriff, ran away ahead of his ticket and was elected by a majority of nine hundred and forty-five to succeed a democratic incumbent of that office.
He was a member of Apollo Lodge, No. 437, A. Y. M., of Mineral Point Lodge, No. 615, I. O. O. F., J. A. Hunter Post, No. 126, G. A. R., Encampment No. 62, U. V. L., and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was a strong republican and an active worker for his party. He had the interests of labor at heart, and always worked for the rights of the laboring class, was for many years a member of the Amalgamated Iron and Steel association, and was elected a delegate to national conventions of that body held in Cleveland, 1881, Chicago, 1882, and Philadelphia, 1883.
