General Notes: Husband - Luther B. Preston

---

He purchased land in Athens township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania at the age of twenty-one, and this he cleared and improved, and there lived until 1871, when he sold, and purchased land in Steuben Township. He had given most of his time to the blacksmithing trade, in which he continued until later years, and then began farming more extensively
and improving his land. He had over 200 acres, on which he built, in 1880, a saw and shingle-mill, which he operated very successfully. He also
gave some attention to coopering for several years. In his earlier history he served in most of the township offices.
