General Notes: Husband - Henry P. Sankey

---

He began his education in an old school house in Potters Mills, Pennsylvania. After leaving the common schools he spent a year in study in Mount View Academy, at Potters Mills, after which he began teaching in Potter township, having charge of a four-months' school. Subsequently he attended school in Williamsport, and throughout his life he added to his knowledge by extensive reading, carrying his researches far into the fields of literature. He was a man of scholarly tastes, of retentive memory, strong mentality and broad general information. He remained at home until his enlistment in the Union army, April 19, 1861. Hardly had the thunder of Fort Sumter's guns ceased ere he offered his service to his country. He met the enemy on one battlefield, was taken prisoner, and confined in Confederate military prisons for one year; his term of service as a soldier was fourteen months.
In politics he was a Republican with Prohibition proclivities, and was well informed on the issues of the day. He held various offices in Church and Sunday-school, and he and his family were prominent in Church work.
