General Notes: Husband - Joseph Allshouse

---

He remained with his father until he was twenty-one years old, in the meanwhile attending school during the winter sessions until his eighteenth year.
He was a veteran of the Civil war, having served three years and eight months in that struggle, during which time he was almost constantly in danger. He was a member first of Company M, 2d Pa. Vol. Cav., joining the regiment at Kittanning and accompanying it to Warrensburg, Virginia. Among the important engagements in which he participated were: Sperryville, July 5, 1862; Madison, July 10, 1862; Cold Harbor, July 25, 1862; Bull Run, Aug. 30, 1862; Chantilly, Sept. 1, 1862; Thoroughfare Gap, October, 1862; Aldie, Nov. 2, 1862; Occoquan, Dec. 26, 1862; Gettysburg, July 3, 1863; Bristoe Station, Oct. 14, 1863; Mine Run, December, 1863. On Dec. 17, 1863, his first enlistment having expired, he reenlisted as a veteran, was promoted to bugler, and participated on the firing line in almost every battle that took place until his final discharge, including the engagements in the Wilderness, at White House Landing, Malvern Hill, Petersburg, Appomattox Court House, and the surrender of Lee. For three years after his return to Pennsylvania he worked out as a farmer. He later owned an eighty-acre farm in South Bend township, Armstrong County, where he carried on general farming.
Politically, he was a Socialist.
