General Notes: Husband - G. W. Schnure


He early became familiar with agricultural pursuits on the home farm, his education being obtained in the district schools of the locality. While quietly following the occupation to which he had been reared the storm of civil war broke over the country, and in response to the call of the government for men, Mr. Schnure enlisted March 11, 1864, at the age of twenty-seven years, becoming a member of Company E, 51st P. V. I., with which he faithfully served until the war had ended. He participated in the battles of the Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Spottsylvania Court House and many others, and was several times slightly wounded. Being mustered out at Alexandria, Virginia, at the close of the war, he returned home and resumed farming, meeting with excellent success in his chosen calling. He owned a farm near Laurelton, Pennsylvania.
In his political views he was a Republican, and in religious belief was a Methodist. Fraternally he was a member of J. C. Schnure Post No. 546, G. A. R.
