General Notes: Husband - Chauncey Forward Sargent

---

He grew to manhood in Westmoreland County, and later was engaged in business in Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and at Bellwood, Pennsylvania. When a young man he learned the printer's trade in Greensburg, and in 1846, while a citizen of Ligonier, he chanced to visit Greensburg when a company was being formed for service in the Mexican war. Among the volunteers were many of his intimate friends and they induced him to enlist with them. In that way he became a member of the Second Regiment in the Mexican war, and was the only soldier in the Mexican war from Ligonier valley. Mr. Sargent was with the regiment in the march under General Scott from Vera Cruz to Mexico, and was seriously wounded at Chepultepec just outside of the City of Mexico, and lay in the hospital there for many months. The wound disabled him more or less during the remainder of his life. He took a great interest in the early history of Westmoreland County, and particularly in that part of it which related to the Mexican war, and attended all the Mexican war veteran reunions in their annual meetings. He was connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in the early years of its history, serving as mail agent, passenger conductor, and later as station master with headquarters at Harrisburg. On leaving that employment he engaged in the news business at Philadelphia, which business became the Union News Company.
