General Notes: Husband - Henry Reinhold Armbrust

---

He was born in Hempfield township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and there his entire life was spent. He was educated at Stouffer's schoolhouse, and then learned the trade of masonry under the tuition of his father. He followed this occupation for many years, and it finally led him into the business of building contractor. At the time of the Civil War he was enlisted in Company I, Eleventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers under Captain Happer. He was in active service during many of the engagements, among them being the following: Battle of the Wilderness, in which he was wounded, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor, North Ann River, South Ann River, Bethel Church, at Petersburg, where he was captured, and a number of others. He was a prisoner for more than seven months in Libby, Belle Isle and Andersonville prisons, and had many interesting tales to relate of the hardships he endured. He was a member of the Second Lutheran church of Greensburg, and in politics a Republican.
