General Notes: Husband - David Alexander McCardell

Westover, Chest Twp, Clearfield Co, PA - postmaster

After attending school, he engaged in the farming and lumbering industries. In 1861, at the age of 20 years, he enlisted for three years' service in Company D, 105th Regt. Pa. Volunteers, under Col. McKnight, his regiment being assigned to the Army of the Potomac. He fought under Meade at the battle of Gettysburg and was with the army in its subsequent operations under Grant and Meade until he was mustered out August 31, 1864. Although he took part in some hard fighting on various occasions aside from Gettysburg, he was never seriously wounded. On his return from the war he took up his residence on the parental homestead in Burnside township, but subsequently bought a farm near the Mt. Joy church, not far from New Washington, where he remained engaged in agriculture until 1882. He was then engaged in the lumber business at Burnside for several years, but later entered into the livery business, which he conducted for five years. Selling out in 1891, he came to Westover and engaged in a livery business here, which however he sold out in 1895, and was thereafter engaged in the grocery and restaurant business up to 1904, at which time he was appointed postmaster of Westover. He then conducted a general merchandise store, in which the postoffice was located.
He was a Republican in politics and served on the school board for 15 years. He was also a member of the borough council and served as burgess, one term in 1905. He was a member of the Odd Fellows lodge at Burnside for 35 years, being a charter member and having passed all the chairs. He also belonged to the Grand Army post at Cherry Tree.

He had three children with his first wife; all were deceased before 1911.
