General Notes (Husband)

A Civil War veteran, a Coroporal, served 3 years and six months. During that time he was never injured and never sick one day. He was one of the first to go.

Per 1882 -83 Reading directory he was a hatter; lived at same address as his father. Also at times listed as a carder.

1890 Reading directory a janitor, and his sister Louisa, who never married, lived with him.

He died of complications of disease.

He was born at the old Dehart Homestead at the Northwest corner of9th and Penn, where hsis father conducted a grocery store for many years. He received a common school education.

He worked at Brumbach's Woolen Mills in Exeter as a carder for many years. Also worked for 16 yers at William Reed's hat factory in Reading. Then worked at W. H. Reinoel's Hat Factory as a carder and quit 15 years before his death. For last 15 years of his life he worked as a janitor at the Boys' High School. When he died hte school placed their flag at half mast.

He was a member of the Evangelical denomination.

Heard from his apparent descendent via apparent son Benjamin Franklin. Ruth Tinklepaugh. Found more informaiton at Ancestry.com

1860 wool spinner. With family. Next door to Cornelius and his wife and family (whose information I somehow originally had as Frederick's).
