General Notes: Husband - John W. Stuart

---

He was born in Harris township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and his education was acquired in the common schools of that section, and in Pine Grove Academy. When the Civil war broke out, he was only a boy in years, but in 1862 he enlisted in Company G, 148th P. V. I., and served until mustered out June, 9, 1865. Entering with the rank of private, he was soon made sergeant, and January 1, 1864, he was commissioned lieutenant. For three months he served as quartermaster of his regiment, but the greater part of his time was spent at more dangerous work, as he participated in all the important engagements of the regiment from Chancellorsville to Appomattox Court House. On May 10, 1864, he was wounded at Poe river, necessitating his absence from duty until September 1, 1864, when he rejoined his comrades in front of Petersburg, Virginia.
After his return to peaceful avocations, he followed agriculture for ten years, and then spent three years in the hotel business at State College. After that time he continued in business there, as a general merchant for eight years, and later as a dealer in coal and grain. He owned two elevators, one at State College and one at Oak Hall, Pennsylvania.
His record as a soldier entitled him to membership in the G. A. R., and he belonged to Capt. Foster Post, No. 197, at Lemont. He was also a member of the Union Veteran Legion at Bellefonte, holding the rank of colonel. He served as postmaster through the Garfield-Arthur administrations, and was again appointed postmaster by President McKinley in 1897.
