General Notes: Husband - John Thomas McGill

---

He received a limited common school education, and spent his boyhood days on the farm. When about eighteen he went to Nebraska, where he learned and worked at the carpenter trade until the breaking out of the Civil war, when he enlisted in company C of the First Nebraska Volunteer Infantry, early in the autumn of 1861, and was in the following battles: Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Cape Girardeau and many other minor engagements. After his three years of service had expired he returned home, and after two months re-enlisted and served a time in the Secret Service, and later as commissary sergeant, and was honorably discharged at the close of the war. He returned home, and after a short time embarked in the mercantile business in Dawson, a venture that proved disastrous, and then for a time he did teaming and dray work. He later accepted a position as foreman at the Sterling coke works, and while thus employed received serious injuries by a fall, but recovering in part, returned to work, but failed in health and died.
