General Notes: Husband - William Stoops
He was born October 8, 1821, in Mercer Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. [HBC 1883, 182]
He devoted his life mainly to agriculture but he had many other interests, in his younger days teaching school, later serving bravely in the War of the Rebellion and subsequently filling public offices with fidelity and efficiency. On September 4, 1861, he enlisted in the Federal Army, entering Company H, One Hundred and Second Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and at the battle of Fair Oaks, on May 31, 1862, he received so severe an injury that after confinement in the Douglas Hospital at Washington City for three months, he was honorably discharged August 30, 1862. He returned to Cherry Township and in the following year was elected prothonotary and then moved to Butler, where he lived during his term of office. Later he purchased a farm in Butler Township, which was later owned by William Barnhart, on which he resided for twenty years. In 1887 he moved on the farm owned and operated by his son, William C., and there he died. In politics he was a Republican and while living in Butler Township served as school director and as justice of the peace.
