General Notes: Husband - Peter Klingler

---

He was educated in the public school and West Freedom Academy, and at the age of nineteen years enlisted, Feb­ruary 22, 1862, in Company H, 103rd Regi­ment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He saw three years of hard service with the Army of the Potomac on the Peninsula and in all their battles until April 20, 1864, when he was captured at Plymouth and sent to Anderson­ville. Later he was transferred to Florence, South Carolina. He there bribed his guard and escaped. He traveled for twenty days, hiding by day, traveling by night, and getting his food as best he could from the fields or from friendly negroes. He had almost reach­ed the Union lines and safety when he was recaptured and sent to the prison at Salisbury, North Carolina, where he was confined until March 17, 1865. He was then paroled and sent north. He was twice wounded previous to his capture, once in the right leg, once in the right hand, but neither was serious, the latter healing during a thirty days furlough received in consequence of his first injury at the battle of Fair Oaks. His second injury was received at the battle of Kinston, North Caro­lina. He was honorably discharged from the service in June, 1865, and returned to Clarion County. For a time he engaged in farming, but soon drifted into the oil business. After serving in various capacities in the oil business he became a producer, and even when practically retired from business, he yet retained an inter­est in about twenty producing wells in Clarion and Butler counties. He was also interested in gas through a company financed largely by St. Petersburg capital, and another company in Venango County. In politics he was a Re­publican, and with his wife belonged to the German Reformed church. He affiliated with his comrades in the Grand Army of the Re­public, and was a member of the Knights of the Maccabees. [GPHAV, 887]
