General Notes: Husband - David C. Stambaugh


He was born on the old homestead in Hickory Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and received his education in the immediate vicinity. At the death of his father he became a self-supporting member of the community, and was one of the first in Mercer County to respond to the presidential call for troops to suppress the Rebellion. On April 23, 1861, he enlisted in Company B, Tenth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Reserve Corps, his term being for three years, or during the war. He was first placed under fire at the battle of Drainsville, Virginia, on the 20th of December, 1861, and was in the thick of the seven days' fight before Richmond. It was during the fifth day of these fierce engagements, June 30, 1862, that he was severely wounded in the left arm. The first clash of armies had occurred at Mechanicsville, four miles from Richmond, on the 26th, the second at Gaines Mills, on the 27th, and on June 28 and 29 the Tenth Pennsylvania formed a part of the Union forces held in reserve. On the 30th, at Charles City Cross Roads, it went into action with characteristic dash, and, although wounded in this engagement, Mr. Stambaugh marched all night to Malvern Hill, participated in the battle there the following day and on the 2nd of July continued in the Union advance to Harrison's Landing. On the following day he was placed aboard a hospital ship and sent down the bay to Hampton Roads; was thence removed to the Portsmouth Naval hospital and, two months afterwards, was sent to the Harwood Hospital, Washington, District of Columbia. He was honorably discharged from the service on the 28th of November, 1862, and being incapacitated for further military duty returned to his home.
Having spent a few months in the recuperation of his shattered health, Mr. Stambaugh, in the summer of 1863, engaged in the manufacture of lime at Sharon, but in the fall of that year joined a colony of emigrants who were California-bound, by way of New York and the isthmus of Panama. After spending about a year on the Pacific coast he returned to Sharon, where he established a coal business. This he conducted until 1872, when he bought a farm near the Clarksville road and operated it for about seven years. In 1878 Mr. Stambaugh removed to New Castle, Pennsylvania, and formed a partnership with L. B. Gibson, William Blaney and his brother, Daniel, in the conduct of a woolen mill. In December, 1881, the plant was disposed of, first selling the machinery and later the real estate. The partnership was dissolved and Mr. Stambaugh purchased a farm in the following spring. His land lay within the borough of Sharon, and he platted most of it to city lots, his investment realizing a fine competency for him and his family. Mr. Stambaugh was always firm in his adherence to Republican principles, was for years an active member of the Sharon Post No. 254, Grand Army of the Republic, and also belonging to the P. H. C.
