General Notes: Husband - William Christley

---

He was reared and educated in his native borough and at an early age learned the trade of a tanner under his father. When the Civil War broke out he early responded to the call to arms, enlisting September 17, 1861, for three years' service as a member of Com­pany H, Seventy-eighth Regiment, Pa. Vol. Inf. They were mustered into the service at Kittanning, where the regiment was organized, although his company was raised in Butler. He participated in all the engagements of his regiment, although he received a slight wound in the shoulder at the battle of Stone River. The regi­ment was mustered out at Kittanning, November 4, 1864, and he returned to Slip­pery Rock. He owned a part interest in the tannery there during the war, and in the meantime his father passed away. Upon his return home he sold out his interest in the enterprise and diverted his energies to the oil fields. For a period of seventeen years he worked as a driller and pumper, after which he en­gaged in teaming, during this time making his home in Concord Township. He fol­lowed teaming in the borough of Butler for ten years during this time, and a part of the time lived in Clay Township. As postmaster of Euclid he gave efficient service and has added greatly to his popu­larity. [TCHBC, 1346]
