General Notes: Husband - Amos Silvis

---

He was reared to manhood in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and in his early life learned the shoemaker's trade, becoming an expert workman. He followed that pursuit for many years, and gained therefrom a comfortable living. In August, 1862, he responded to President Lincoln's call for 300,000 men, and joined Company C, 78th P. V. I., commanded by Capt. John M. Brinker. He participated in the battles of Stone River, Chickamauga and a number of heavy skirmishes in that vicinity, the defense of Fort Negley and the battle of Lookout Mountain. He belonged to the Starkweather Brigade, and was under command of General Rosecrans. Prior to his enlistment he had never taken any medicine in his life, but the hardships and exposure of war brought on rheumatism, and on a surgeon's certificate of disability he was honorably discharged February 18, 1864, after which he returned to his home in Clarion County.
In politics Mr. Silvis was always a stanch Republican, unswerving in support of the party principles.
