General Notes: Husband - Milton Work

---

Civil War: he enlisted in Sept., 1862, in the 23d Regt., Pennsylvania militia, during the Chambersburg raid.

His farm was near the family homestead, Marion Center, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. He was a very progressive farmer; took special
interest in fruit and poultry.

He spent his boyhood on the farm and went to the local school, later learning the trade of carpenter and joiner with W. G. McElhaney, of Indiana. His first wages were ten dollars a month, and later, when he became a journeyman, he received fourteen dollars a month. After four years at the trade he returned home, continuing to help his father until 1863, when he settled on what was known as the Evergreen Farm, in East Mahoning township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, formerly part of his father's holdings, what was once known as the William McCall farm. On this tract of seventy-five acres he lived and worked for half a century, during which time he improved it from year to year, keeping abreast of the progress made in agriculture. He followed general farming and stock raising, making a specialty of raising and dealing in horses.
During the Civil war Mr. Work enlisted, in September, 1862, in Company I, 23d Regiment, Pennsylvania State Militia, and was out for a short time, being stationed at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. He was always a stanch Republican on political questions, and his church connection was with the United Presbyterian congregation of East Mahoning; he served as trustee of the church.
In 1905 he and his wife made a trip west to the Rocky mountains, visiting Colorado and elsewhere.
After the death of his wife his niece, Mrs. Stewart, kept house for him.
