General Notes: Husband - Paul Mahle

---

The common schools of his native township afforded him his educational privileges, and he remained on the home farm until July, 1862, when he laid aside civil pursuits to aid his country in the preservation of the Union, becom­ing a member of Company G, 155th P. V. I., un­der Capt. Klotz, of Clarion County, PA. After being sworn in at Pittsburgh, the regiment proceeded to Washington, D. C., where it was assigned to the Fifth Corps, Army of the Potomac. The first engagement in which Mr. Mahle participated was at Fredericksburg, and he later took part in all the battles and skirmishes of the regiment, in­cluding the battle of Gettysburg, where the loss on both sides was heavy, and where Picket made his famous charge. He also took part in the en­gagement at Williamsport and the seven days battle of the Wilderness, where he was seriously wounded by two minie balls in the right leg, and was also taken prisoner, but was recaptured a few hours later. For seventeen days he was in the Fredericksburg Hospital, was then taken to Washington, and from there to Philadelphia, where he was confined until after the close of the war, being honorably discharged in July, 1865. For the remainder of his life he carried one of the minie balls which was never extracted. After marriage he and his wife began housekeep­ing in Fryburg, PA, where he owned property, but he later sold out and removed to St. Petersburg, where he was engaged in speculating in oil and working at the carpenter's trade until 1878. Disposing of his business there, he pur­chased the Columbus Reed farm of 100 acres in Highland township, Clarion County, and thereafter devoted the greater part of his time to agricult­ural pursuits, meeting with a well-deserved suc­cess. He brought much of his farm under a high state of cultivation, erected a com­fortable two-story residence and large barn, and made other excellent improvements to the place.
