General Notes: Husband - Frederick Obley


He was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, and came to West Newton, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, with the family in 1840. He learned the mason's trade in West Newton and followed that occupation all his life. When war raged between the States, he enlisted in Company F, Eleventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, serving from 1862 until the war closed. He saw hard service with his regiment, a part of the Army of the Potomac, was in many battles, was wounded at the battle of the Wilderness and contracted ailments which eventually caused his death. He was a Democrat in politics, an elder of the West Newton Church of God, and one of its strong pillars of support. He was representative-elect to the general assembly of the church. He was a devoted member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and when laid at final rest his brethren rendered him all the honors of the burial service of the order.

He and his wife were the parents of three sons, all of whom survived their father, and of three [another source: four] daughters, one of whom preceded him to the grave.


General Notes: Wife - Susanna Peters


Her father was of German descent, though a native of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was a farmer and resided near Irwin, where he died.
