General Notes: Husband - John A. Stewart

---

Civil War: he served in company A, 61st Pennsylvania volunteers for two years and eight months. He was wounded near Banks' Ford, Virginia, May 4, 1863, and taken prisoner; he was wounded again at Spottsylvania, May 12th, 1864, with loss of left arm and part of right hand.

He was a carpenter by trade. In 1865, he was elected county treasurer, and served two years. He afterwards was borough treasurer and collector of Indiana. He acted for some time as clerk at the Deposit Bank. He was a patient for two years at "Our Home" Water Cure, Danville, Livingston County, New York, and though leaving in 1872, he continued in the diet. In 1876, he removed to his father's farm, one mile north of Marion, where he constructed a pen forty-eight by thirty-two feet and fourteen feet high, to hold foxes and other wild animals. At one time he had twelve foxes in it, and at the same time, had two wolves in another pen. He bought and sold wild animals and furs.
