General Notes: Husband - Henry Mali

---

He was born in Germany and there lived until he attained man's estate. The name is an old one in that country, frequently mentioned in public records, Henry Mali being the first to leave the Fatherland. He attended school in Germany, obtaining an excellent education and an expert knowledge of the trade he afterward made his life work, carriage painting. He settled in Pittsburgh in 1852, there working at his trade until the beginning of active hostilities between the north and the south, when he espoused the northern cause and enlisted in the Union army, becoming a member of the 123d Pennsylvania Regiment, commanded by Colonel Clark. He saw much strenuous action, and in the battle of Fredericksburg was severely wounded. He did not return to Allegheny County after the declaration of peace, but was for a time in Washington County, then in Pittsburgh for a short stay, but finally came to Clarksville, living there in steady occupation at his business until his death. He was a Republican in politics, an ardent admirer of General U. S. Grant, but in later life supported the Democratic party.
