General Notes: Husband - Joseph Douthett


His education was obtained in the old log school house near where he was reared, but after reaching manhood he was a constant reader and a student, and thus became self educated, and taught for many years. He settled in Penn township, and became one of its extensive farmers. He learned the stonemason's and bricklayer's trades, in youth, and followed them in connection with agriculture. Politically, he was a Whig, and afterwards a Republican, and was recognized as an influential member of his party in this county. He was a justice of the peace for Penn township, was elected county commissioner in 1847, and was a school direc­tor for many years, always taking a deep interest in the prosperity of the public schools. He was a member of the Covenanter church, but later joined the United Presbyterian church.
