General Notes: Husband - Amos W. Kinch

---

Upon the home farm he passed the days of his boyhood and youth in much the usual manner of farmer lads, but during the dark days of the Civil War, in response to the President's call for volunteers, he enlisted August 18, 1863, in Company F, 82d P. V. I., for three years or during the war. After being mustered into the United States service at Pittsburgh, he joined the Army of the Potomac, First Brigade, Third Division, Sixth Corps, and participated in the battles of Centerville, Bealton Station, Rappahannock, Mine Run, Kelly's Ford and in many skirmishes. At Culpeper he was transferred to Johnson's Island in Lake Erie, where he did guard duty for a time. Later he was ordered to Baltimore, where he did office duty until the close of the war, being honorably discharged at that place June 27, 1865.
After returning to his home in Washington township, Clarion County, he learned the blacksmith and wagonmaker's trades, which he then followed, being one of the most skillful and able workmen in his line in the locality.
Mr. Kinch was an ardent supporter of Republican principles, and served as a member of the school board. In religious belief he was a Lutheran.
In 1878 he associated with the secret service, and was an ardent and successful operative to bring criminals and refugees to justice.
