General Notes: Husband - Silas M. Means

---

He grew to manhood on the old family homestead, obtained his early education in the select schools of Whitesville, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, and later graduated at the Iron City College of Pittsburgh. He successfully followed teaching in the public schools for a number of years, and was also one of the brave boys in blue in the Civil war, enlisting in 1864, and serving until hostilities ceased. After the close of the war he obtained a position as bookkeeper for a Chicago firm, but at the end of six months enlisted in the United States Navy. While in the service he was taken ill, and died at Vera Cruz at the age of twenty years.
