General Notes: Husband - Oliver Henry Burdett

He served on the home farm until he joined the ranks of the Union army, as a member of Company M, One Hundredth Pennsylvania Regiment of Volunteer Infantry, known popularly as the “Roundheads.” With his comrades, he was a participant in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House, North Anna River, Cold Harbor, Bethesda Church, Weldon Road, Yellow Tavern, Poplar Grove Church, Hatcher’s Run, Steadman, and all the operations before Petersburg (including the famous mine explosion), from the first skirmishes to the final terrible assault. He received his honorable discharge on the 24th of July, 1865, at Harrisburg and returned to the Mercer County farm. He participated to some extent in the township government, holding the position of health officer for Lake Township; also he served one term as mercantile appraiser.
