General Notes: Husband - William Thomas Reid

---

He was quite young when the family came to West Newton, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he was educated in the public schools. He became an expert in coke manufacture, and for several years was manager for the Laughlin Coke Company, later for Reid Brothers at Dunbar, Pennsylvania. In politics he was a Republican, but never held public office.
He served during the entire period of the Civil War, enlisting August 15, 1861, in Company H, Forty-fourth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, under Captain Bayard and Colonel Bayard. After his three years of service expired he re-enlisted and served until the surrender at Appomattox. He saw hard, continuous service with his regiment, engaging in the following battles: Drainsville, Falmouth, Harrisburg, Cross Keys, Cedar Mountain, Thoroughfare Gap, Fredericksburg, Leedstown, Sheppardstown, Brandy Station, Upperville, Gettysburg, Muddy Run and Culpeper. He was taken prisoner and for three months confined in Libby Prison and four months on Belle Isle before being exchanged. He received an honorable discharge and returned to his home.
