General Notes: Husband - John McGaughey

---

He was reared on the farm and attended the common schools of his native township until he was nineteen years of age. At that time he enlisted on September 25, 1861, as a private in Co. K, 105th regiment Pa. Vols. and was promoted to corporal in 1863, and to color-sergeant January 1, 1865. He participated in the Peninsular campaign, fought in all of the hard battles of Burnside, Hooker, Meade and Grant, and was honorably discharged on July 11, 1865. At the battle of Fair Oaks a musket-ball went through his right arm, at Gettysburg, on the 2d of July, a piece of a shell wounded him in his right side and hand, and in the Wilderness fight, of May 5th, a rifle-ball struck him in the right leg.
After the close of the war he was engaged in farming until 1875, when he removed to Indiana borough and dealt in farming implements for three years. He then embarked in a real estate and general agency business. He bought, sold and exchanged real estate.
He was a member of Indiana M. E. church, Lodge No. 21, A. O. U. W.; Improved Order of Heptasophs, Indiana Post, No. 28; G. A. R., and commander of Encampment No. 11 of the Union Veteran Legion. He was a Republican from principle and a member of the borough council, in which he frequently served.
