General Notes: Husband - Levi Gearhart

---

Having acquired the rudiments of an English education in the common schools, he supplemented that beginning by reading and observation, becoming highly self-educated. He grew up on the farm, and familiar with agricultural processes, so that when his father died he was well prepared to take full charge of the homestead, which he did for one year. He then engaged as mill hand and log cutter in a saw-mill, and some time later undertook contracting in timber, at which business he spent sixteen years. Mr. Gearhart then passed four years in trading in Clearfield and Huntingdon counties, after which he embarked in the business of a general merchant at Manor Hill. He was postmaster for two terms, under President Cleveland. For twelve years he conducted the Manor Hill House. He was a Democrat, and was auditor of the township for one term.
He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, of Manor Hill, and belonged to its board of trustees. He was a class leader for twelve and a Sunday-school worker for twenty years, and served as superintendent of the Sunday-school for several years.
