General Notes: Husband - John Edmund Rutherford

---

He received his education in the public schools of his native township and the Mt. Joy Academy, Lancaster county. After leaving the academy, he taught one of the district schools in Swatara township for two terms, and after the breaking out of the Civil War served a short period with the Pennsylvania State militia at the time of the battle of Antietam. In the spring of 1863 he took service in the quartermaster's department of the volunteer army, and remained in that position until May, 1866, doing service during that period in the states of Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and South Carolina, in the latter state being connected with the Freedman's bureau.
Returning home in 1866 he followed the occupation of farming until 1875, and then, in connection with that business, went into the coal business in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, continuing both until 1879, at which time he took charge of Senator J. D. Cameron's Lochiel farms, and subsequently the Senator's Derry farms, and other landed estate.
Mr. Rutherford was a director and the vice-president of the Steelton National Bank beginning from its organization in 1886, and was also a director of the Steelton Brick Company and the Middletown and Highspire Electric Street Railway Company.
In his political views Mr. Rutherford was an Independent Republican, and in religious belief a Presbyterian. [CBEDC, 1018]
