General Notes: Husband - Jonathan B. Hillard


He lived on the old family homestead and followed farming there prior to July 16, 1863, when he enlisted in Company H, Sixty-second Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, in which he served until July 4, 1864, when the regiment was discharged, as its term of enlistment had expired. On July 4, 1864, he re-enlisted, entering Company C, One Hundred and Fifty-fifth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, in which he served until the war closed, his whole service being in the Army of the Potomac. He participated in numerous battles, including Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Rappahannock Station, Mine Run, Boydstown, Plank Road, the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Tolopotomy, Bethseda Church, Hatcher's Run, White Oak Road, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Weldon Railroad, Five Forks, and Appomattox, besides others, and was five times wounded. He was honorably discharged July 27, 1865, having been a witness of General Lee's surrender to General Grant. He became a resident of Allegheny Township, Butler County, the year following the close of his military service.
He took a hearty interest in the Samuel J. Rosenberry Post, Grand Army of the Republic, at Eau Claire. In politics he was identified with the Republican party, and for seventeen consecutive years served as a member of the Allegheny Township School Board. For many years he was united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Eau Claire and belonged to its official board.

His two brothers were also in the army.
