General Notes: Husband - Reuben McPherson

---

He spent his youth on his father's farm, and upon the death of the latter, received a portion of the homestead by the terms of his father's will. His share of the estate included the original buildings, and here he and his wife lived for several years. As he was slowly seized by the infirmities and weaknesses of old age he moved to New Brighton, Beaver County, where he spent his declining years, his death occurring when he was eighty-eight years of age, a quarter of a century after that of his wife, although he had never remarried. Both were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, earnest and devout in their worship, regular in their attendance.
