General Notes: Husband - Henry Skiles

---

He was educated in public schools, and in early life worked on the home farm. Later he learned the trade of carpenter, an occupation he followed for several years. He then began farming in Franklin township [Allegheny County, Pennsylvania?], then spent a year in farming in Beaver County. While in Beaver County, in 1862, he enlisted in Company L, Fourteenth Regiment Pennsylvania Cavalry, later was transferred to Company E, of the same regiment, served thirty-five months and was honorably discharged at the close of the war. He saw hard service with the Fourteenth Regiment, fought with General Sheridan up and down the Shenandoah Valley and shared the often hard fortunes of his regiment on many battle fields, but came through all without bodily injury. After the war he worked at his trade for two years, then began farming. In 1884 he purchased a farm in Franklin township and cultivated its fertile acres, until his retirement, in favor of his son, William J. Skiles.
He was a member of Franklin Methodist Episcopal Church, was a Republican in politics, and for nine years served his township as school director.
