General Notes: Husband - James Foster Struthers
He was reared in an old hewn log house, and assisted with clearing his father's farm. He obtained a limited amount of schooling, attending the old log schoolhouse, but the greater part of his time was devoted to farm work. At the age of sixteen he began learning the plasterer's trade, at which he worked for a period of eight years. For a number of years he engaged in milling at various places, the last mill he had in charge, being that of Reed Walker, of Harrisville, Butler County, Pennsylvania. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in Company B, 134th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, under Captain McCune, and served one year in the army, participating in the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, also the battle of Antietam. After obtaining his discharge, he returned to his family in Lawrence County, after which he engaged in milling at Grove City, Pennsylvania. Mr. Struthers owned and operated a farm of fifty acres in Lawrence County for many years but in 1881 moved to Harrisville, Butler County.
Mr. Struthers was politically a Democrat and served in various town offices. He was a member of the town council, and in 1905, was elected burgess of Harrisville. He was a member and trustee of the Presbyterian Church. In November, 1908, Mr. Struthers went to Lynchburg with the old soldiers to the unveiling of a monument erected in commemoration of Humphrey's Division.
