General Notes: Husband - Henry Vance

---

West Virginia

His father died when the son was a young man.

At the age of seventeen he enlisted in the First Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, and served through a large portion of the Civil War, at the close of which he received his honorable discharge. His regiment served under the command of General Fitzpatrick in the latter's campaigns in Virginia.
When twenty-two years of age, he married and for the next seven years he farmed on a place near her old home in Fairfield township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He then went to Pittsburgh, where he remained two or three years operating a job printing office. He found, however, that this occupation did not agree with him, and as his health demanded a change he migrated to Virginia, where he settled for a time in Louisa County. Here he became the manager of a country store, and at the same time carried on farming operations on a place that he had bought there. Eventually, however, he returned to the East and the next five years were spent by him at Latrobe in Westmoreland County, where he practiced the profession of engineering. He also was engaged during a part of that time as salesman for a furniture house. He owned a handsome farm near Ligonier, and still later operated the old Hartman farm, where he did general farming, and he also kept a livery stable in Ligonier. He finally came to another place, and there conducted a dairy with great success. He managed this place in partnership with his son, Samuel Hartman Vance, until he was obliged to retire from active life on account of ill health. He resided at Ruffville until the time of his death, which occurred when he was sixty-nine years of age.
He was a Democrat in politics, and closely affiliated with the Presbyterian church in Ligonier, wherein he held the rank of elder.
