General Notes: Husband - Robert Harbison


He had very limited educational privileges, but his native shrewdness made him a very successful man. By judicious investments in real estate he realized a competence, and his only loss occurred in the Savings Bank of Allegheny, where he sunk six thousand dollars. He was at one time a stockholder in the P., Ft. W. & C. Ry, whose tracks crossed his farm. When his brethren of the Free Presbyterian church objected to this holding he withdrew from that body, and for a time associated with the Methodist Episcopal church, but he was not satisfied with this connection, and at the time of his death was a member of the United Presbyterian church. Politically he associated with the Free-Soil party, but afterward joined the Democrats.
At the time of his death, he was probably the oldest native of Beaver County resident in it.
