Henry ESTRIGHT's Civil War Records and Pension: He is buried along the
road at the Advent Cemetery. He enlisted in Holidaysburg, PA. w/ the 208th
PA. Volunteers on 23 Sep 1864 for a 1 year stint. His pension request papers
claim that he suffered a "rupture" while the unit was falling back in an
engagement at Fort Steadman, VA. He was crossing a ditch and fell, was never
treated for it and it became worse over the years. It seems when he was 59
(1887) he filed for the pension because he was finding that working was
becoming too painful. The papers list him as a "Collier" before the war and
employed in "coaling" and wood chopping after the war. He is listed as
living in the counties of Huntingdon and entre since the war and now
residing at Wingate. He died 25 Nov 1892 and his widow had to file to claim
his pension. The papers state that they were married on 17 Jul 1856 in
Altoona, Centre Co. PA. The "Application For Accrued Pension" lists her
maiden name as being Sarah Margaret SWISHER. The "Declaration for Widow's
Pension" gives the names of all children under 16 who were living in the
house at that time (28 Nov 1892) They are: Florence Belle ESTRIGHT b. 27 Jul
1878 and Susan May ESTRIGHT b. 4 Sep 1883. Some of the papers list the widow
as Sarah Margaret ESTRIGHT and some as Margaret M. ESTRIGHT.(Source: Ben
