General Notes: Husband - Cyrus Harper

---

He was but two years old when he came with his parents to Cranberry Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared on a farm. In 1862 he joined the army and enlisted in Company A, Fifteenth West Virginia Volunteer Infantry. He served until the close of the war and participated in nineteen important engagements, including those of Cloyt Mountain, West Virginia; New River Bridge; Halltown, Virginia; Harpers Ferry; Smokers' Gap, Virginia; Winchester; Lynchburg; Fishers Hill; Cedar Creek; Petersburg; Gettysburg; Appomattox, and numerous skirmishes. Mr. Harper was discharged and mustered out at Wheeling, West Virginia, June 5, 1865, after which he returned to Butler County and engaged in agricultural pursuits in Cranberry Township until 1906. He owned considerable property in that section of the county, having a fine farm of 100 acres, five residence properties in Zelienople, and two in Ambridge, and one in Butler.
In politics Mr. Harper was a Republican and was elected on that ticket treasurer of Butler County, serving in that capacity for three years. He was also justice of the peace in Cranberry Township for three terms. In fraternal affiliation, he was a member of Col. Joseph H. Wilson Post No. 496 G. A. R. of Zelienople; also the I. O. O. F. and the F. & A. M.

He taught both instrumental and vocal music for thirty years.
