General Notes: Husband - Col. George Hamlin Bemus

---

He was educated at the Fredonia Academy; subsequently studied law with the Hon. Madison Burnell at Jamestown, New York, and admitted to practice in Nov., 1853. He practiced in Jamestown, Meadville, Pennsylvania, and in Wenona, Wisconsin. In the latter town, he was elected Judge of Probate and was also a Director in the Transit R. R. Co. In April, 1861, he enlisted in a company formed at Meadville, and was elected 2d Lieutenant. His company was attached to the 9th Penn. Reserves and served in the army of the Potomac. He served as Aide-de-camp to Generals Seymour and C. F. Jackson, and was in the seven days fighting before Richmond; and in the Battles of South Mountain, Antietam and Fredericksburg, in the latter he was seriously wounded, having to leave the army. Later on he raised a company which was attached to the 58th Penn. Militia, of which he was made Colonel. His Regiment took part in the capture of General John H. Morgan, and he was the officer who had charge of the prisoner. He resigned from the army in 1863, and in 1864-65 was elected to the Pennsylvania Legislature. He afterwards practiced law in New York City, Petrolia, Pennsylvania, and Allegheny County, New York. Owing to disabilities incurred in the army he later in life was not engaged in active business.
