General Notes: Husband - Francis Breckenbridge McClenahen


He was educated in the public schools of his native township, and at a suitable age became the assistant of his father, and continued this work until August, 1864, when he enlisted. He was commissioned as a lieutenant recruiting officer, organized a company of soldiers at Milroy, and with the rank of captain was assigned to Company K, Two Hundred and Fifth Pennsylvania Volunteers. His service continued until the close of the war. At Petersburg, Virginia, 1865, he was brevetted major for gallant service. June 2, 1865, he was honorably discharged, returned to his home and there resumed his former work, with which he was occupied until almost the close of the year 1868. In 1876 he removed to a farm he purchased in Armagh township, Mifflin County, near Milroy, and there the remainder of his life was spent. He was active in the political affairs of the community, always giving his earnest support to the Democratic party, and was appointed postmaster at Milroy, February, 1894, assuming the duties the following month. He was an honored member of Colonel Huling Post, No. 176, Grand Army of the Republic, at Lewistown.
