General Notes: Husband - Hugh McGuire Parshall

---

He was born at Tidioute, Warren County, Pennsylvania. Here he made his home all his life, spending, however, a portion of his time in Mexico and Central America. He was engaged for some years in mercantile pursuits in Tidioute, but for many years represented Reeves, Parvin & Company, of Philadelphia, beside doing considerable outside business in staple provisions. He was a veteran of the civil war, having enlisted at Riker's Island, New York, August 20, 1861, in Company F, Fifth Regiment Excelsior Brigade New York Volunteer Infantry. He was promoted to the rank of second sergeant during service. He fought at the siege of Yorktown, Williamsburg, in the seven days' fight before Richmond, the second battle of Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Mine Run, Wil-derness, Spottsylvania Court House, Front Royal, Cold Harbor, and the siege of Petersburg. In August, 1863, he was detailed from Front Royal, Virginia, to repair to New York City as drill sergeant for colored troops; he remained six months, and also did recruiting service. His term of service expired on August 29, 1864, at which time he was honorably discharged at Petersburg, Virginia. Mr. Parshall was a trustee of the Presbyterian church. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, under the auspices of Colonel Cobham Post, being an active and influential member; he spent the last evening of his life with his comrades and associates here, his death occurring suddenly at his home. He was a man of fine and strong character, quiet and self-contained at all times, seeming to have uppermost in his mind the two thoughts of duty to his family whom he loved devotedly, and a desire to benefit humanity at large in a manner as quiet and unostentatious as possible. He was a broad-minded and patriotic citizen, and a true friend.
