General Notes: Husband - Edward L. Howard
He was a veteran of the Civil War, having enlisted three times in the Union armies. At the first call for troops in 1861, he enlisted, and was discharged at the expiration of one year's service because of illness contracted in the army. On his recovery he re-enlisted under the nine months call, and again in 1864 became a volunteer soldier, serving till the close of the war. It was during this last service that he received a severe wound in the head at the battle of Kenesaw Mountain, on June 6, 1864, from the effects of which he was a sufferer much the rest of his life. [BOBLC, 314]
He learned the shoemaker's trade, which he followed industriously for many years, supporting his family and providing them with many of the luxuries and comforts of life. In 1880 his railroad service had a beginning, accepting in that year a position on the Pennsylvania R. R., and then was employed as flagman and in other like capacities in the company's yards at Lawrence Junction. He was a soldier of the Civil War, serving three years in Co. E, 105th Reg. O. V. I., and was in Sherman's Army when it made its renowned march to the sea; he was severely wounded at the Battle of Kenesaw Mountain, and received hospital treatment for quite a long period.
