General Notes: Husband - James Wilson Rauch
He attended school in Union County, Pennsylvania, until he was fifteen years old, when his parents removed to Clearfield County, and there he spent one winter in school. With the exception of one and one-half years spent in West Keating township, he lived in Karthaus township thereafter. On his return from West Keating township he had intended to stay one year, or longer if he found conditions satisfactory, and he remained thirty-two years on that property. He first bought the Price place, a tract of thirty-two acres, later purchasing the Charles Welsh property of four acres, and there he continued engaged in farming and lumbering. In January, 1865, Mr. Rauch reported at Ridgeway, Pennsylvania, where he became a member of Co. M, 100th Pa. Vol. Inf., known as the "Roundhead" Regiment, Third Brigade, 1st Division, 9th Army Corps, and he served through the Virginia campaign. He was scratched on the hand by a bullet at Petersburg, and in July, 1865, was stricken with typhoid fever, being confined to the hospital at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for one week. He returned to his home in Clearfield County, but recovered sufficiently to participate in the Grand Review at Washington. He was later a member of Bucktail Post, G. A. R., at Renovo.
In addition to long service as justice of the peace, Mr. Rauch served as school director and supervisor, was for nine years assessor, and served some years as collector.
