General Notes: Husband - John L. Stouffer

---

The greater part of his education was acquired in the Whites school house, on the Dry Ridge. He learned the trade of masonry, which he followed in later life. At the outbreak of the civil war he enlisted in the Fourth Pennsylvania Cavalry Regiment, under General Young, and was discharged in 1864. He was actively engaged in twenty-seven battles of the war, among these being the seven days' fight at Gettysburg, and the battle of the Wilderness. During the fight in front of Richmond his horse was shot from under him. At this time he was on the body guard of General McClellan. At Shepherdstown, West Virginia, July 16, 1863, he was shot in the leg, and the ball has never been extracted. He displayed bravery and endurance, and his conduct was highly commended. At the close of the war he returned to peaceful occupations. He was a member and treasurer of the Mystic Chain, an organization which went out of existence at the end of its first year. He was a member of the Knights and Ladies of Honor for seventeen years, and then resigned. Later he was connected with the Manor Rod and Gun Club, which was a purely social organization.
