General Notes: Husband - Joseph G. Porter

---

He learned the blacksmith's trade, which he fol-lowed until taken ill with the smallpox. In 1850 he joined the rush to California during the "gold fever" excitement, and walked from Independence, Missouri, to Sacramento, California; he remained in Cali-fornia until 1854, during that time being engaged in mining, and also worked at his trade. He re-turned home by water; passing through Nicaragua, thence to New York, and finally arriving at home in Washington County, Pennsylvania. In 1856 he purchased a farm on which he resided, and successfully fol-lowed general agriculture until the approach of old age compelled him to abandon active life. In his late years he lived in retirement, while his son, John T., managed the farm.
