Notes
a. Note:   ng in Garner, Iowa at the time of his sister Mary's death in April 1917. While a young man Orville enlisted in the Northern Army (1863) in the 97th NY Infantry and was still serving at time of June 1865 census. He was in camp near the Pennsylvania border during the battle of Gettysburg which was about 90 miles south and was in many skirmishes. He was in the field through the mine campaign and also through all of the wilderness campaign. In 1865 he was a nurse at Camp Bell Hospital in Washington, D.C. where he was transferred after losing a finger on his left hand from being hit by a mine ball fired by a Confederate soldier not more than 30 yards distance in the Battle of Wilderness at Spotsylvania during the Civil War. He marched in the grand parade at Washington, D.C. June 5, 1865.
  After marrying, Orville and his wife Leora McKenzie, daughter of James McKinzie, went to Hancock county "where they commenced their married life on the farm which was their home until 18 years ago when they took up their residence in Garner." At the time of his death his son Harold was residing on the old homestead. The farm was located about 8 miles NE of Garner, near Miller.

The storm blew him out into a slough, lifted one horse clear over the other, and broke his wagon and buggy. The box to his wagon was taken entirely away and he has been unable to find any trace of it." His daughter Edith supplied his middle name in her 1912 DAR application. Orville and his wife were members of the Congregational Church.
  His granddaughter Kathryn Gilbert Hanson reported an interesting anecdote. She relayed that Orville had requested leave to go to a play at the Ford theater the night Lincoln was shot. Orville had been denied the leave and thus was not present.
Note:   Orville Ketchum Pike went to Iowa in 1867 with his family. He was livi
