General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Carr

---

He attended school at Red Bank, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and was a young man when the family came to Lawrence township, Clearfield County. He operated a saw-mill for several years and then purchased a farm, then containing 165 acres. With the help of his sons he cleared all but fifteen acres which remained very valuable timber lands. He continued in the mill business, hiring help to operate his farm. During the Civil War he was in the service, a member of Co. E, 149th Pa. Vol. Inf., and toward the end of the war was captured by the Confederates and incarcerated in Libby Prison, where he died from harsh treatment.

Civil War: he enlisted, in 1861, in the Union army, and served throughout the war. He was captured by the enemy, and was lost at Annapolis, Maryland, during the exchange of prisoners.
