General Notes: Husband - Silas Warren Work

---

He was born on the family farm near Richmond in East Mahoning township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. He grew to manhood on that place, and in his boyhood attended the country school. Leaving school when thirteen years old, he helped with the work at home until his enlistment, when he was but a boy of fifteen, for service in the Union army. His brothers David and Alexander were at the front, and as he was rather lonesome at home he determined to follow their example, his father's opposition proving in vain. In 1863 he became a member of Company C, 2d Battalion, under Capt. William Neal and Colonel John C. Lininger, for six months' service, after which he reenlisted, becoming a member of Company B, 67th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, under Capt. Samuel McHenry, serving to the close of the war. He was the youngest from this section to carry a gun in defense of the Union. Returning home at the end of the war he remained on the home farm until his marriage. He then bought and located on the farm in Grant township where he continued to live for a number of years, thence coming in 1886 to another place, a tract of thirty-two acres in East Mahoning township, within the limits of the borough of Marion Center. He was engaged in farming and draying. He took an active part in the administration of civil affairs in Marion Center, serving as street commissioner, and a member of the borough council. He was a member of the United Presbyterian Church, and in political association was a Republican until the organization of the Progressive party, whose principles he favored. [HIC 1913, 982]
