General Notes: Husband - William H. Wynn
He was reared on a farm, and had common-school advantages only. He remained at home until he was twenty-one. His first employment was in a brick yard, where he worked for some time. In 1863 he enlisted in the State militia, and volunteered to go to Ohio when Gen. Morgan was raiding in that state, and was there when Morgan was captured. In 1864 he enlisted in the 211th P. V. I., as a volunteer, and served with the Army of the Potomac, taking part in a number of battles. He was not wounded or captured, and on receiving an honorable discharge at Alexandria, Virginia, he returned home in safety. For some time he was employed as a farm hand, and then he found work in a brick yard again. Later he spent two years in the service of the Pennsylvania railroad as a brakeman.
For a few years after his marriage, Mr. Wynn made his home in Westmoreland County, but in 1870 he went to Woodland to work in the erection of the Woodland Fire Brick Works. Later he became a stockholder in the enterprise, and worked there nineteen years, the last four as foreman. The business was sold in 1889, and he and two of his brothers bought the Wallaceton Fire Brick factory. They later took another member into the firm, Alexander Patterson, an attorney, who was familiar with the business. Mr. Wynn had the general oversight of the plant. The mines from which their clay was shipped were owned by them. The property was a valuable one, and, besides his stock in that, Mr. Wynn owned a fourth interest in the store at Woodland. The firm owned 250 acres of land, and the mineral rights under two other farms.
Mr. Wynn had a comfortable residence in Wallaceton. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
