General Notes: Husband - John W. Munsee

---

He was reared and educated in his birthplace, and in December, 1863, enlisted in Co. K, 83d P. V. I., under Capt. Hechtman. He was in the following engagements: The Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North Anne, South Anne, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Weldon Road, Hatche's Run, Pine Forks and Appomatox. While engaged in building fortifications at Petersburg, Mr. Munsee was seriously and almost fatally injured by a large log rolling on him. This was the only injury he received during his service, except a slight scalp wound, but it was of such a serious nature that his health was impaired thereafter. After this distressing accident, Mr. Munsee was taken to the Jersey City Hospital, where he remained until able to get about. He was mustered out of the service July 23, 1865, by general order of the war department. Mr. Munsee returned to Venango township after the war, and worked at farming on the old homestead until 1876, when he purchased a farm of 110 acres at Hatch Hollow, Pennsylvania.
