General Notes: Husband - John Boyd Atwell, Sr.

---

He was born in Butler County, Pennsylvania, but was bereft of a father's care at seven years of age. He learned the carpenter's trade and followed that as his occupation for several years, forsaking it to engage in farming operations in Venango County. His labors were interrupted by the beginning of the conflict between the North and South when he enlisted in the Sixteenth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry. In all the battles participated in by his regiment he was in the ranks, fighting at Malvern Hill, where he was wounded, and at Gettysburg. At the close of the war he returned to his home and resumed work on his farm. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and a member of the session of that denomination.
