General Notes: Husband - John St. Clair

---

He obtained his education in the common schools of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. He lived at home until his marriage, after which he settled in Plum Creek township. In October, 1861, he enlisted for service in the Civil War, becoming a member of Company G, 63d Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, which was sent to Pittsburgh and on to Fortress Monroe, being assigned to the 3d Army Corps, Army of the Potomac. In March, 1864, he was transferred to the 2d Brigade, 3d Division, 2d Corps. He took part in many engagements, being at the battles of Occoquan Creek, VA. (March 5, 1862), siege of Yorktown (April 5 to May 3, 1862), Williamsburg, VA. (May 5, 1862), Fair Oaks (May 31, 1862), White Oak Swamp (June 30, 1862), Malvern Hill (July, 1862), Groveton, VA. (Aug. 29, 1862), Bull Run (Aug. 30, 1862), Chantilly (Sept. 1, 1862), Fredericksburg (Dec. 13, 1862) and Chancellorsville (March 1, 1863). He was disabled by a gunshot wound in the body at Chancellorsville and was taken prisoner, being held for fourteen days. He was discharged from hospital at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Sept. 22, 1863, but he suffered from his injuries to the end of his life and carried the bullet in his body to his grave. He returned home in very poor physical condition. For some time after-ward he lived at Whitesburg, Armstrong County, and for one year acted as assessor. He then bought a farm in Kittanning town-ship, later trading it for the farm upon which he passed the remainder of his life, and where his widow then resided. It con-tained eighty acres, and it was improved very materially by him. He took his share of public duties, serving many years as supervisor of his township, and also acting one term as justice of the peace. In politics he was a stanch Repub-lican. He belonged to the G. A. R., holding mem-bership in the post at Kittanning, and was buried with military honors.
