General Notes: Husband - John M. Coons

---

At the age of sixteen he came to Dry Run, Pennsylvania, and, with Thomas Skinner, learned the tailor's trade. He then was engaged as a clerk for several years, and in 1854, in partnership with James Ferguson, embarked in merchandising, and continued for six years. In August, 1861, he enlisted in Company H, One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, for nine months, and served until the term of enlistment had expired. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Chancellorsville and conveyed to Belle Isle, but after a brief confinement was liberated, returned home and remained one year at Dry Run. In the spring of 1863 he located on a farm one mile and a half north of Dry Run, known as the "Campbell farm," and containing 137 acres.
