General Notes: Husband - Isaac T. Crouch


Civil War: he served under Gen. Philip Sheridan in the famous Ringgold Cavalry, which was finally merged into the Twenty-second Cavalry, under which title it was mustered out.

At the age of twenty-one years he entered the Civil War as a private, being afterward promoted to the rank of sergeant. He participated in the battle of Cedar Creek, the scene of "Sheridan's Ride," and served until the close of the war. He then returned to Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he worked on a farm for several years.
After marriage, they located in Peters township, Washington County, where they remained as tenants for several years. In 1879 he bought a farm, containing 117 acres of some of the best land in the county; it was underlaid with a valuable vein of coal which was later sold at $50 per acre. Politically, Mr. Crouch was always devoted to the interests of the Republican party, but invariably declined official honors. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and served as elder and Sabbath school superintendent.
