General Notes: Husband - Amos Altman


He grew to manhood on his father's farm and received his education in the common schools. After leaving school, he was engaged in farming until 1864. In that year he enlisted in Co. B, 6th Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery and served until June, 1865, when he was discharged at Ft. Ethan Allen, Vermont, but was not mustered out of the service until he reached Camp Howe, at Pittsburgh. Returning home, he followed farming until 1876, when he embarked in the mercantile business at Cochran's Mills, in which he continued for seven years. In 1883 he removed to Parksville, where he opened a general mercantile establishment and succeeded in building up an extensive and profitable trade.
He was a Democrat and filled the township offices of auditor and collector of taxes. During Cleveland's administration he held the office of postmaster at Dime. He was a member of the Evangelical Lutheran church, the United Workmen and the People's Mutual Accident Association.
