General Notes: Husband - Adam Hetrick

---

Fairmount City, Clarion Co, PA

Early in life he became familiar with the work of the farm, while his literary education was obtained in the neighboring schools. Feeling that his country needed his services he enlisted October 18, 1861, in the 78th P. V. I. He belonged to Capt. John Brinker's Company, McCook Division, Army of the Cumberland, and with his command took part in the engagements at Stone River, Hoover's Gap, Tullahoma, and Chickamauga under Gen. Thomas, who became known as the Rock of Chickamauga. He was later in the battles of Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Rocky Face Ridge and Buzzards Roost, where the Rebels rolled stones down upon the Union forces. These engagements were followed by the battles of Dallas, Ga., New Hope Church, Burnt Hickory, Pumpkin Vine Creek, Allentown Hills, Kenesaw Mountain, Peach Tree Creek, siege of Atlanta, and the battles of Pulaski and Franklin, Tenn. Mr. Hetrick had his right eye injured at New Hope Church, was wounded by buckshot in the right hand at Stone River, and while on guard duty at Chickamauga had the hearing of his right ear impaired, and received a rupture while on guard duty at Nashville, Tenn. When his term of service had expired he was honorably discharged; he never fully recovered from the effects of his army service. For some years he lived in Pike County, Missouri, after the war, and on his return to Pennsylvania located on the old homestead of his father-in-law, in Red Bank township, Clarion County, where he engaged in agricultural pursuits.
He served as supervisor of his township.
