General Notes: Husband - Samuel Lewis Huyett

---

During the years 1849-51, he attended school at Williamsport, Pennsylvania; 1853-56, he served as book-keeper for Huyett & Seeds, then railroad contractors. In August, 1861, entered the army as captain of Company D, One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry; resigned December, 1862. During the last four years of the service was consecutively captain of Companies M, F, and A, Nineteenth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry. An item worthy of note in this connection is that during the whole four years of cavalry service "Toby," a fine black horse from his father's farm, was his inseparable companion. This noble animal carried his master through many a hot skirmish and heavy engagement, traversing thousands of miles through the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. His service ended on the bayous of the lower Mississippi. After the war the captain, with four companies of the regiment, was retained in government service in Texas. He returned home in the latter part of 1866. He was later in the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Altoona.
