General Notes: Husband - James C. Harper

---

His school attendance was over by the time he was seventeen years of age, after which he devoted himself to agricultural pursuits until 1894, when he settled at McDonald. For twenty-three years of this period, he engaged in farming in Kansas.
He enlisted August 8, 1862, in Co. G, 123rd Pa. Vol. Inf., and his service as a soldier during the Civil War entitled him to membership in the Thomas Espy Post, G. A. R, at Carnegie, Pennsylvania. In his political sentiments, he was a Republican.
