General Notes: Husband - John A. Harman




He was born at the Shaffer homestead in Donegal township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. His education was acquired in the public schools, and the early years of his life were spent at home assisting his father in carrying on the farm. During the Civil War he was second sergeant of Company I, One Hundred and Sixty-Eighth Regiment, Pennsylvania Militia, and went to the front October 16, 1862. He was honorably discharged July 25, 1863. On March 31, 1865, he re-enlisted in the One Hundred and Third Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and was mustered out as a second corporal of his company at Newberne, North Carolina, June 25, 1865. Upon his return from the army he resumed farming at County Line and Jacob's Creek in Mount Pleasant township, whence he removed in April, 1867, to a farm in the vicinity of Stahlstown, Donegal township, and resided there for forty years or more. For many years he devoted much of his time to veterinary surgery, in which he attained much success, and his professional reputation extended far beyond the limits of his own locality. Mr. Harman acquired prosperity as both a farmer and veterinary surgeon.
Politically he acted with the Democratic party. He held the offices of justice of the peace, assessor, tax collector, school director and judge of elections. His religious services were rendered chiefly in behalf of the church of his ancestors, the Lutheran church. He occupied various positions of prominence and trust, including those of deacon, elder and trustee, and as a member of the building committee which superintended the erection of a new Luthran church edifice in his locality.
He was one of the most prominent members of Post 596, Grand Army of the Republic, of Stahlstown, having served as its commander and vice-commander.
