General Notes: Husband - Samuel Jacob Krumbine

---

He supported his family as a blacksmith, shoeing horses, and by small scale farming. During the Civil War, he was First Sergeant of Company H, 101st Pennsylvania Infantry. Some family accounts say he died in Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia, after being captured by the Confederate Army, however, his war record says he was admitted to Chesapeake Hospital at Fort Monroe, Virginia, on July 27, 1862, with consumption and discharged from the service on Aug. 8. He had been paroled from prison on July 19.
After his death his wife worked out and the children stayed with their Grandmother Mull.

In his youth he worked on a farm. During the fall months he was engaged in charcoal burning, which was used as fuel in the famous Cornwall Charcoal Furnace. This noted furnace was the pioneer of its kind in America, and during the Revolutionary War, cannon for Washington's army were manufactured here. He attended the schools of his neighborhood with a view to becoming a teacher, but later learned the trade of carriage blacksmithing and opened a place business in his home town. Migrated to Emlenton, Venango County, Pennsylvania, where he married Sarah Mull. Their four children were: Mary, William, Charlie and Samuel J., who was a posthumous child. Enlisted as private in the 101st PA Regiment of the Federal Army in the Civil War. Promoted to sergeant, he fought in the battles of Bull Run, Yorktown, Fair Oaks, Seven Days' Battle and others. In the last-named engagement he was ill with typhoid fever. Being too weak to retreat with his company, he, together with some four thousand other sick and wounded, was captured by the enemy and taken as prisoner to the terrible Libby Prison at Richmond, Virginia. Here he suffered dreadfully from lack of food, medical attention and want of clothing, for his captors had taken from him his uniform, cap and shoes. A five dollar bill, sewed on the inside of his undergarments, and which his captors overlooked, bought food which he generously shared with his companions, thus saving them from starvation. Hundreds of these prisoners died every night. Every morning the feverish eyes of Samuel beheld the bodies of his comrades who had passed away during the night, thrown out of the low windows until they were piled up on the outside to the height of the window sills, thence to be carted away and buried in shallow trenches. Exchanged because there was no hope for his recovery, he died three days after reaching home. He is buried at Kleinfeltersville in Albright's Church Cemetery. Accorded a military funeral, a volley was fired over his grave, his casket was draped with the American flag-the flag for which he died.
