General Notes: Husband - Cyrus Stouffer

---

He attended the schools of his home district, and remained with his parents until nineteen years of age. He then enlisted for service in the Civil war, becoming a private in Company K, 53d Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, in 1861, and was mustered into the service at Harrisburg under Capt. William B. Coulter and Col. John R. Brooks, late major-general in the regular army. Mr. Stouffer's regiment was attached to Richardson's division, 2d Army Corps, commanded by Edwin Sumner. The chief engagements of this regiment were: Fair Oaks, Gaines's Mill, Peach Orchard, Savage Station, White Oak Swamp, Malvern Hill, the campaign in front of Richmond, the battle of Antietam, first battle of Fredericksburg (in which Mr. Stouffer was wounded above the knee) and Marye's Heights. On account of his injury, Mr. Stouffer was sent home. The next engagement was at Gettysburg, whence the troops were sent to Culpeper Station, and from there fell back to Centerville, and returned to Culpeper, remaining there until May 3d, when they broke camp, and thirty days thereafter were in the wilderness about the Poe river. They then charged upon Spottsylvania, on May 12, 1864, and in that engagement 3,500 were taken prisoners, and seventeen pieces of artillery and two Confederate generals were captured. On June 3d, followed the battle of Cold Harbor, in which Mr. Stouffer received a flesh wound that necessitated his removal to Lincoln hospital at Washington City, D. C., whence he was discharged on account of the expiration of his period of enlistment.
Following this Mr. Stouffer returned home and worked on the homestead for a year, when he entered the employ of J. & P. Graff, of Blairsville, being employed in their warehouse until 1868, when he went to Burrell township to engage in farming, continuing there until 1881. In that year he came to Blairsville, where he was employed at the Ray Hardware store until 1906, after which time he lived retired.
Mr. Stouffer served as county commissioner during 1906-07 and 1908. He was a member of Findley Patch Post, G. A. R., and of the Royal Arcanum, and in religious matters he was a Methodist.
