General Notes: Husband - Isaiah Henderson Aiken

---

He and his brothers and sisters all attended the district school as opportunity offered and all grew to be well informed people. He continued to operate the home farm for his father until he entered the Federal Army in 1861, when he became a member of Company F, One Hundred Thirty-seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and took part in all the hardships and dangers of military life, with his comrades, for the following nine months, when he was honorably discharged. His two brothers, E. E. and David, were members of the famous Roundhead regiment. All escaped serious injury. For one year following his return from the army, he remained on the home farm and then went to Iowa for a time, and after he came back to Perry Township, Lawrence County, he married and settled on a farm property of 120 acres.
