General Notes: Husband - Capt. Matthew Ogden

---

He was reared and educated in Lawrence township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and as a life work took up farming and lumbering. In 1847 he purchased a wooded tract of 150 acres, which he at once began to clear and improve. He came to have 110 acres under a high state of cultivation, and erected thereon good and substantial farm buildings, making the place one of the most desirable in the locality.
During the Civil War he enlisted in his native county, in 1861, and raised Company K, 84th P. V. I., of which he was commissioned captain on the 13th of September. The company was sworn into service at Camp Curtin, and assigned to the Army of the Potomac, with which it took part in the battle of Winchester. For thirteen months Capt. Ogden remained in the service, and was then discharged at Waterloo, West Virginia, on account of disability, after which he returned home.
In politics, the Captain adhered to the principles of the Democratic party, and he was a member of Lorimer Post, G. A. R., of Clearfield.
