He was a justice of the peace for twenty years, and an active worker and liberal supporter of the Dutch Reformed church of Mayfield. He married Mary Burdick, also born in Ephratah. They had five children. two only arriving at maturity. David, of whom further ; Sarah.
(V) David (2), son of David (1) and Mary (Burdick) Getman, was born in Ephra- tah, Fulton county, New York, January 21, 1836. He was educated in the public schools and Kingsboro Academy, where he was grad- uated. When he was ten years of age his parents removed to Mayfield and after David had completed his studies he worked as a . clerk in his father's store. At the outbreak of the civil war he enlisted, August, 1861, in Company I, Seventh Regiment, New York Volunteers. This company was recruited in Fulton county and was mustered into the United States service, October 30, 1861. He was commissioned first lieutenant, later cap- tain, and assigned to the Tenth Regiment, New York Cavalry. His army record is ex- ceedingly honorable, and is thus recorded in the history of the Tenth Regiment.
"Captain David Getman, Jr., age twenty-six, commissioned from Mayfield, October 17, 1862, with rank from September 17, 1862, mustered in October 30, 1862, wounded by saber-cut of arm and taken prisoner at Brandy Station, Virginia, June 9, 1863; escaped while in transit near Winnsboro, North Carolina, February 14, 1865; arrived in General Sherman's army February 21, 1865; returned to duty June 3, 1865; transferred June 24. 1865, to Company L, First New York, Prov. Cavalry.
"The first and only captain of the initial com- pany of the new battalion was David Getman, Jr. This officer entered the service as Captain of Com- pany I and remained as such to the termination of its service. At the time of the dissolution of the regiment he was transferred as Captain to Com- pany L of the First New York, Prov. Cavalry. No braver knight or more courteous gentleman ever led men to battle. He came of fighting stock, his grandfather, George Getman, being an officer in the American army in the war of 1812. Captain David Getman, Jr., in civil as well as military life has exhibited a dignity of character and a spirit of enterprise that causes his fellow-citizens to mention his name with pride. While in Libby Prison, on the sixth day of July, 1863, his name, with seventy-four other
prisoners the of was
placed in a ballut-box, foto 1wwwmmes (Captain Sawyer, of the First New Jeramy fay- alry, and Captain Flinn, of the Fifty fir -: fromna Infantry ) were drawn tor bcation. freaplent Lincoln (informed of tim circunstances la Mrs. Sawyer, who had received 4 letter from her hus- band) held General W. M. F. Lee and Capt in Winder, hostages for Sawyer and Flinn, and they were subsequently exchanged by special order from the Confederate War Department. Captain Get- man, with other officers, was for sixty-four days under fire in the city of Charlestown, South Caro- lina. General Foster had erected batteries en Mor- ris Island and was shelling the city, inflicting seri- ous damage. In order to ave it from destruction these officers were placed in this position, and General Foster was notified that he jeopardMed his comrades if he continued firing. It isiled. However, it had the desired effect, as luster erected other batteries and increased his fire, which resulted in the Federal officers being removed to Columbia, South Carolina. A man of ex tent judgment, Captain Getman so regulated lis lutits and daily life while a prisoner of war that he emerged from the terrible urdeal with less i the evil effects than most of his associates He has always manifested a deep interest in the members of the regiment, the feeling partaking wi the paternal in regard to those who composed his old company."
After the war he returned to Fulton county, New York, where until 1880 he was engaged chiefly in the purchase and sale of patent rights. He employed at times a score of men and double teams and carried on a very large and profitable business. In 1880 he began operations in real estate and made many of Gloversville's most substantial improvements. The Getman and Choral U'nion blocks, now known as the Martin & Nailor and Weed & Willoughby department stores, are monu- ments to the activity during this period of his eventful life. He purchased a farm in May- field where he indulged his love for horses and stock to the utmost. He built a track for training purposes and has owned some of the best horses in the county. Recently he pur- chased the old Judson mansion on Kingsboro Heights, surrounded by two acres of land, where he intends to found the David and Helen Getman Old Ladies' Home. Denied children of his own Mr. Getman had taken unusual interest in young men, two of whom he educated and furnished with clothes during their school years. During his long life he has strictly adhered to principles of sobriety and abstinence from both liquor and tobacco. He is a Republican in politics, and for many years was notary public and was the first elected president of the village of Mayfield. He is a member of Canby Post, Grand Army of the Republic ; the Veteran Association ; the Cavalry Society of the United States; the Sons of Veterans of Gloversville, and named
