General Notes: Husband - James Maguire


In Clearfield, Pennsylvania, in the autumn of 1861, he enlisted in Company K, 84th P. V. I., and was mustered in at Harrisburg. They were ordered to Hancock, where they received their arms. Crossing the Potomac river to Bath, an engagement was brought on with Gen. Jackson, and they were driven back to Hancock. After two or three skirmishes they proceeded to Martinsburg, and later again met Jackson at Winchester, where the Union forces were victorious. During the following spring they participated in the engagements at Fredricksburg and Port Republic, being defeated at the latter place by Jackson. After the defeat at Fredericksburg they retreated across the Shenandoah river. Mr. Maguire took part in all the battles in which his regiment participated, and on the expiration of his term of service was honorably discharged in the autumn of 1864, and returned home.
He took a prominent part in the work of the Republican party, which he always supported by his ballot, and for two terms held the office of supervisor of his township.
