General Notes: Husband - Rev. John A. Delo

---

He had a common school education, and for a time was a clerk at Eagle Furnace. He had united with the Methodist Episcopal church when sixteen years of age, but transferred his membership to the Evangelical Lutheran. Feeling called to the ministry, he studied for a time with his pastor, Rev. Witt, in Shippensville, and finish­ed his course in Wittenberg College, at Spring­field, Ohio. His first pastorate was at Marionville, Pennsylvania. He later had pastorates at North Washington, Butler County, and Apollo, Armstrong County. From Apollo he went into the army as chaplain of the Eleventh Regiment Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteers. He went with his regiment through the Wilderness campaign, to the James river, where they were discharged. He had contracted a chronic dis­ease, and that autumn he died at North Washington, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he is interred. He was a man of deep piety and much more than ordin­ary pulpit ability. The veterans of his regiment spoke of him as an ideal chaplain in camp and in hospital, ever on the lookout for their physical and spiritual good. [GPHAV, 246]
