General Notes: Husband - Hezekiah R. Sankey

---

He attended school in Union Township and at New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and then learned the shoemaking trade, at which he was working when the Civil War was declared. Mr. Sankey enlisted in 1861 in Company H, One Hundredth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, which was then known as the Round Head Regiment, and with this brave body of men he served for three years. On one occasion he was captured by the enemy but contrived to escape before incarceration in a prison. He enlisted as a private and at the time of his honorable discharge was a sergeant in rank.
Upon his return to New Castle Mr. Sankey worked at his trade for about seventeen years and then embarked in a general mercantile business, which he conducted for eight years, and then began dealing in pianos and sewing machines and making a specialty of talking machines and records. For about twenty years Mr. Sankey was the leading piano dealer in that section. He had an additional interest in a brokerage business.
He attended the Methodist Episcopal Church. He always took a decided interest in politics, and identified with the Republican party. He was a member of the G. A. R. Post, No. 100, at New Castle, and he belonged to the Protected Home Circle.
