General Notes: Husband - David Maxwell

---

He received his education in the local public school, and after leaving school enlisted in the Union Army for service in the Civil War. He served in that momentous struggle as a member of the Sixty-ninth Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, which took an active part in the battles of Bull Run, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness, besides many other important engagements. Mr. Maxwell was so fortunate as to come through all these sanguinary actions entirely unhurt, although often in extreme peril. After being mustered out of the service at the end of the war, he returned to his trade as carpenter, which he followed during practically all the remainder of his life. He was also a successful farmer, his farm being situated near Greensburg, Pennsylvania, where he made his home for about twenty-five years.
He was a strong Republican in politics and took an active part in public affairs. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and generally prominent in the community.
