General Notes: Husband - Andrew Lupher


He was born on his father's farm and secured one hun-dred acres of the property, where he remained practically throughout life. His youth was spent in much the same manner as that of other boys in the vicinity, though he and his brothers never indulged much in hunting, then a favorite pastime. He attended a log school located about where the County Home now [1919] stands, two and a half miles from home through the woods, carrying his lunch, which often consisted of cold buckwheat cakes, stowed away in his hat. The school had window lights of greased paper, and its other appliances were equally primitive, but the instruction was practical and he made the most of his opportunities. Though he started very modestly, getting his first five dollars from the sale of a calf which he had raised, he did well in his agricultural operations, adding over ninety acres to the one hundred which he first obtained and improving it all systematically. The house was built by him in 1878, and he made a number of other permanent improvements on his property, which he kept in fine condition, being noted for his thrift. Like his father he was a Republican and a member of the Wesley Chapel M. E. Church, which the Luphers had supported from its inception. He was always ready to help young men who were ambitious and willing to work, and several boys who came to work for him were greatly encouraged by his aid and counsel. He trained them carefully, increased their wages from year to year, and showed his high principles in all his relations with them. [HVC 1919, 782]
