JEFFERSON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA

established his home at Indiana, where he was engaged as a contractor and builder, erecting many of the better class of buildings there, a number of which are still standing. He was one of the stanch and honored citizens of Indi- ana county, influential in public affairs of a local order, and though past the age limit at the time of the Civil war insisted in expressing his loyalty by active service as a gallant soldier and officer of the Union forces. He had pre- viously been influential in the State militia, in which he had served many years as colonel of a company at Indiana. When the dark cloud of civil war cast its pall over the national hori- zon he promptly effected the organization of Company K. 105th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantrv, of which he was made captain, and was in command when he received a severe wound in the memorable battle of the Wilder- ness. His injury incapacitated him for fur- ther service and resulted in his death shortly after he arrived at his home. He was sixty- three years of age at the time of his enlistment, and his death occurred prior to his attaining to the age of sixty-four, his life having been sacrificed in a righteous cause and on the altar of patriotism. Captain Airman wedded Julia Ann Sloan, of Kittanning, Armstrong county, who was about eighty-three years of age at the time of her death

2 September 1863 SERIOUS ACCIDENT. A few days ago MRS. ALTMAN, wife of the late HENRY ALTMAN, of this place, had her left hand lacerated in a most shocking manner, while owrking about an apple mill. She was adjusting some of the machinery of the mill, preparatory to using it, when one of her children, by accident, pushed the crank of the mill forward, setting the machine in motion. Her hand was caught between the cogs, severing the two middle fingers about the second joint, and mashing the other two fingers severely. She suffers much pain from her wound. http://files.usgwarchives.net/pa/indiana/papers/indianaregister/reg...
