John C Wetzel I transcribed this (as well as 'the rest of the story'), in case anyone would like the digital:
p. 880 NORTHERN PENNSYLVANIA
(VI) Josiah Edward, son of Cyrus Terwilliger, was born at Birdsall, Allegany county, NY, May 5, 1838. He became a lumberman, owning saw mills and producing large quantities of manufactured lumber. He was for a time in Cincinnati, OH, but most of his operations were conducted in Potter County, Penna. He was one of the company who combined and sunk by hand drill the first oil well at Cuba, NY. He enlisted in 1861 in the 85th Regiment NY Volunteer Infantry, serving four years lacking one month. He was taken prisoner at New Bern, NC, confined at Macon, Georgia, succeeding, however, in making his escape and rejoining his regiment. He was severely wounded at Fair Oaks and lay for several weeks in the hospital. He died in Hebron township, Potter County, Penna, August 28, 1883. He married, October 17, 1865, Fendora Stevens, born in Sharon township, Potter County, Penna, October 5, 1843. She was educated in the public schools, finishing at Mansfield State Normal, and for three years prior to her marriage taught in the Hebron township schools. She survives her husband, a resident of Shinglehouse.
