General Notes: Husband - George Wynn

---

He learned the trade of blacksmith and served as an apprentice in this craft in West Fairfield, Pennsylvania, for two years. He later followed his trade in the town of Bolivar, and also worked for his father on the home farm. On September 2, 1861, he enlisted as a member of Company G, Seventy-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment, with the rank of fourth sergeant. He was mustered in at Harrisburg, at Camp Cameron, and served for three years, his regiment forming a part of the armies of General Butler and General Mitchell at different times. It was a part of the Second Brigade, Second Division of the Tenth Army Corps, Army of the James, and marched with that army to Hilton Road, South Carolina. Here it was engaged in building fortifications and also in provost duty until April, 1862. Mr. Wynn saw much active service and was present at a number of the great engagements of the war, among which should be mentioned the battle of Fort Pulaski, April 10, 1862; the attack on Charleston, June 16, 1862; Pocatalys, October 12, 1862, and Fort Wagner, July 10, 1863. Mr. Wynn was on guard duty at Hilton Head, South Carolina, until December 2, 1863. The destruction of the Petersburg & Weldon Railroad, under General Butler, which occurred May 1, 1864, and the engagement at Cold Harbor, June 12, 1864, were other engagements in which he participated. He was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant about the last date, but was wounded July 30, 1864, in a mine explosion. His left shoulder was so badly injured that he was sent to the United States Hospital at Hampton and from there dispatched to Harrisburg for muster, November 22, 1864. He received his honorable discharge at Harrisburg, and returned to civil life. He never allowed his Civil War associations to lapse, however, and he became a member of Captain John Colter Post, No. 244, Grand Army of the Republic, of Bolivar. Returning to Bolivar after the war, Mr. Wynn resumed his work as a blacksmith there, December 19, 1864, and continued for two years longer working at this trade. He then bought a valuable piece of property in Fairfield township of about thirteen acres, to which he later added another ten acres, and there established a blacksmith's shop on his home place. There he worked from 1866 to 1885, having in the meantime built a substantial house. At the latter date he sold out his interests in the property and purchased the Thomas P. McKelvey place of one hundred and fifteen acres, also in Fairfield township, and there, after clearing twenty acres of woodland, he built his various farm buildings. The barn was erected in 1881, and two years later he put up a residence. Mr. Wynn engaged in general farming on this place and was very successful thereat.
