The son of Harman Henry (perhaps vice-versa) & Margaret Stallman, in 1860 he was a carpenter's apprentice living in York, York County, Pennsylvania, and working for master carpenter Jacob Gotwalt and is in the 1863-65 draft registration still residing in York. He stood 5' 6" tall and had light hair and blue eyes.
A Civil War veteran, he served two terms of service:
1. Enlisted at the stated age of eighteen in York August 24, 1861, and mustered into federal service there September 11 as a private with Co. K, 87th Pennsylvania Infantry. While building barracks in the field, he fell from a scaffold and broke his right elbow, leading to his discharge by surgeon's certificate to date March 27, 1863.
2. Enlisted at the stated age of thirty-two [sic] in York August 17, 1864, and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg August 18 as an unassigned man with the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry (60th Pennsylvania), arriving at the regiment August 30 at Petersburg, Virginia. He was assigned to Co. C September 20 following, promoted to corporal October 1, 1864, allegedly to sergeant on January 1, 1865, and honorably discharged per general order to date May 27, 1865. However, he is in the company register as unassigned private and is not found in the Co. C register. The enlistment age discrepancy may be a clerical error, although it is certain he served both terms of service, and there was only one John Stallman or any similar spelling found in any roster of the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry.
After the war, he married Catherine Ann "Kate" DeHoff and fathered Emma Kate (b. 01/17/65 - married Chester W. Irwin), Frederick Henry "Harry" (b. 10/16/68), John Herman (b. 04/05/71), David Ross (b. 05/19/73), and Minnie Jane (b. 12/31/75). In 1890, he was still living in York but moved his family to Philadelphia where he worked as a printer and died from "cerebral apoplexy" at his son John's home. Oddly, not one of his obituaries mentions military service.
