General Notes: Husband - Washington P. Altman

---

He was reared at Indiana, Pennsylvania, and acquired his education in the public schools of the borough and Indiana academy, from which he was graduated in 1862. In June, 1863, he enlisted for six months in Co. A, 1st Pennsylvania Cavalry. When discharged in December following, he enlisted in the regular army, as a member of Co. A, in the 19th U. S. Infantry, for three years, with the rank of first sergeant. During most of this time his regiment was stationed in Tennessee, Arkansas and Indian Territory. After his discharge he taught school for seventeen years in Arkansas, Illinois, Colorado and Iowa, as well as in his native state. He was a successful teacher; his long service in the army having given him special training as a disciplinarian. At length the confinement to the school-room impaired his health, obliging him to seek other employment. In 1880 he was appointed chief of police of Indiana, here, too, his army training aided him in the discharge of his duties.
He was always a Republican, and attended the Presbyterian church. He was a member of Palladium Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Shavano Lodge, No. 28, Knights of Pythias, and Indiana Lodge, No. 260, Jr. O. U. A. M. He was prominent in the Grand Army of the Republic, a member of Torbert Post, No. 11, and Logan Camp, No. 77, Sons of Veterans, of Colorado. While teaching in Colorado he was elected to the offices of department commander of the Grand Army of Colorado and judge advocate of the department of Colorado of the Sons of Veterans.
