John T. Fife, 92, last survivor of the Sixty-second Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, died Tuesday on his farm in Upper St. Clair township. As a lad, Mr. Fife, in 1856, rode with the Republican campaign clubs that supported John C. Fremont, first Republican candidate for President, and in 1860, he cast this first ballet for Abraham Lincoln. He voted for every Republican presidential candidate from that time down to the election of Herbert Hoover. Mr. Fife served in all the actions of the Sixty-second regiment until the battle of Spottsylvania Courthouse, where he suffered a severe wound. He married Miss Jennie Morton in 1866. He had been a member of Bethel Presbyterian Church more than 60 years. He was a member of the Union Veteran Legion and an honorary officer in the Sons of the American Revolution. He leaves a son, Morton Fife, who resides on the ancestral farm; two daughters, Mrs. C. W. Fenton of New Castle and Mrs. James R. Rhodes of Library, and a niece, Mrs. Evadna Sterrett Balfe, a former missionary in Syria.
