General Notes: Husband - Daniel Shaner

---

He received his education in the public schools of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He remained with his father on the farm until twenty-one years old, at which time he went west to the state of Indiana, where he did farm work for one year. Returning home, he remained only a short time, going west again, this time to Kansas, where he was employed in a sawmill for two years. Coming back east, he bought a farm in Gilpin township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, in 1860, from the David Leech heirs. The property consisted of fifty-seven acres near Leechburg, along the Kittanning road, and had valuable soft coal deposits. On Aug. 16, 1862, Mr. Shaner left his farm to aid the Union, en­listing in Company C, 139th Regiment, Penn­sylvania Volunteers, at Leechburg. His first duty was on the battlefield of Second Bull Run, where they assisted in burying 2,600 dead. From there the command went to Antietam and took part in that famous bat­tle, being attached to the Army of the Poto­mac. Mr. Shaner was made corporal in 1863. At the battle of Spottsylvania Court­house, May 12, 1864, he received two wounds at the same time, one in the left leg, below the knee, and the other on the right thumb. He was again wounded Oct. 19, 1864, at the battle of Cedar Creek, in the left leg above the knee. His active service included two days' fighting at Gettysburg, and he was pres­ent at Lee's surrender. He was honorably discharged June 21, 1865, and returned to his home after long and faithful service. Upon resuming civil life Mr. Shaner began to oper­ate his coal mine, also engaging in farming and trucking. He was identified with various local in­terests, being a member of John A. Hunter Post, No. 123, G. A. R., of Leechburg, which he served as treasurer; was a member of the Grange for twenty-five years; and was a prominent member of the Hebron Lutheran Church at Leechburg, of which he was a deacon.
