General Notes: Husband - Matthew Nelson

---

He was born on Service creek, in Greene township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where his parents resided for about twelve years. He was reared and educated in Beaver County, and was a farmer all his life, with the exception of the time spent in the army. He enlisted Aug. 22, 1861, in Company F, 46th Regiment, and served over three years, being honorably discharged in September, 1864. He was in General Banks' campaign in the Shenandoah Valley; was with General Pope on his retreat from Cedar Mountain; was captured at Chancellorsville, and taken to Libby prison. He was shortly afterward paroled, and when exchanged, joined the regiment in Tennessee. He was in the engagement at Buzzard Roost, Resaca, Kenesaw Mountain, Dallas and Peach Tree Creek, South Mountain and Antietam, and his brigade was the first to enter Atlanta. He had typhoid fever at the time of the battle of Gettysburg.

He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian church. He was a Republican.
