General Notes: Husband - Hamilton H. Say
He spent his boyhood on the family homestead, where he alternated attending district school with working for his father. Thus engaged he learned farming at first hand, and throughout his life devoted himself to agricultural pursuits. His life was spent in Perry township, Armstrong County, PA, after 1874, when he bought a farm of seventy-seven acres which he occupied and operated.
During the Civil war he enlisted Oct. 7, 1861, in Company C, 11th Pennsylvania Reserves, with which he served until June, 1864, when he was transferred to Company A, 190th Pennsylvania Volunteer Veterans, known as the famous Bucktails or Kane Rifles. He was honorably discharged from the service Oct. 6, 1864, in front of Petersburg, VA. He participated in the battles of Mechanicsville and Gaines' Mills, and had the misfortune of being captured with his regiment at the latter engagement, June 27, 1862. They were confined in Libby prison and the one on Belle Isle in all for forty days, when they were exchanged after a very unhappy experience. After rejoining his regiment he was stricken down with typhoid fever, but recovered in time to participate in the battle of Gettysburg, the Wilderness campaign, and the engagements at Spottsylvania Court House, Cold Harbor, siege of Petersburg, and others. He was a member of Craig Post, No. 75, G. A. R., of which he was commander, and belonged to the Loyal Legion in Butler County.
He and his family belonged to the First Presbyterian Church of Parker City, which he served as elder after 1865. He held nearly all of the township offices, always elected on the Republican ticket, as he was a firm adherent to the principles of that party. He served five years as justice of the peace.
