General Notes: Husband - Daniel Debolt Dawson

---

In young manhood he became a farmer, inheriting a portion of his father's estate he added some land to his share and became the owner of seventy-five acres. He built a substantial dwelling and remodeled a barn that stood on the property, there residing until his death. With his wife he was a member of the Reformed Church. In political life he always adhered to the principles of the Republican party, but in his later life, when the question of temperance became more and more of a national issue, he took a firm stand for the Prohibition party, using his utmost effort and every influence in its behalf.
In the early part of the war of the Rebellion, when it was thought that a few battles would cause the conflict to come to a decisive end, he enlisted for ninety days in Knapp's Battalion of Heavy Artillery. When at the expiration of that term of service the end of the struggle seemed so indeterminate, he re-enlisted in the One Hundredth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and was at Appomattox Court House just prior to the close of the war.
