General Notes: Husband - John Closser

---

In 1862 he enlisted in Company D, One Hundred and Fortieth P. V. I., and remained during the whole service. He was in all the engagements of his company, was not wounded, but had five holes made in his clothing from the enemy's bullets, and he was once slightly injured by a ball. After his return from the war, he turned to the more peaceful life of an agriculturist. In political opinion he followed in the steps of his fore­fathers, and voted the Democratic ticket. He was justice of the peace in Amwell township eight years, and during that time, becoming interest­ed in law, he passed his leisure time in the diligent study of the principles of that profession, and so well improved the time that he was soon admitted to practice. He was for three years a student at Pleasant Valley Academy. Mr. Closser and his family were all earnest workers in the Dis­ciple Church of Lone Pine.
