General Notes: Husband - George M. Boal

---

When he had attained a sufficient age he began his education in the Rock Hill school, under the direction of Chris­tina Wieland. He mastered the rudimentary branches in the district schools, was a student in Boalsburg Academy when Rev. Austin was its principal, and attended Kishacoquillas Seminary for one term. When not in the school room he assisted his father in the cultivation of the home farm, with the exception of two years when he served as salesman in the general store of Ard & Dunlap, at Pine Grove Mills, Centre County, PA. On August 16, 1862, he enlisted as a private in Company D, 148th Infantry, and his first active service was at Chancellorsville. After that bat­tle he served on detached duty as clerk at the headquarters of the First Division, Second Army Corps, under Gen. Hancock. Later he was in the general recruiting service at Harrisburg. On March 10, 1865, he was commissioned first lieu­tenant and quartermaster of the 83d P. V. I., joined that command at City Point, and was with the regiment in the field until the close of the war, when in June, 1865, he was honorably discharged. On his return to civil life, he located on the old homestead of his father in Harris township, Centre County, the property being owned by himself and brother Shannon. In the spring of 1867, he sold to his brother Shannon, and pur­chased the John Durst farm in Potter township, where he then carried on agricultural pur­suits. He owned more than 200 acres of valuable land, and one of the best improved farms in the township. He was a stanch Republican, a member of the Grange, and a charter member of Samuel Shannon Post, No. 282, G. A. R., at Centre Hall. He and his wife held membership in the Presbyterian Church.
