General Notes: Husband - Samuel H. Haslet

---

He was reared on the homestead in Venango County, Pennsylvania, and in 1848 went to Steuben County, NY, where, during the winter of 1848-49, he taught school. In the spring of 1849 he moved to Jefferson Furnace, Beaver township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and acted in the capacity of clerk in the Furnace store two and one-half years. In 1851 he located in Tionesta, where he embarked in the grocery business on a small scale, and by careful management accumulated a com­petency, carrying a large stock of general merchandise, including furni­ture and agricultural implements. His two sons, Robert L. and James, were associated with him in business. Politically he was a Democrat, was postmaster of Tionesta under the administrations of Pierce, Buchanan and Cleveland, and was also a member of the legislature in 1876. He filled many municipal offices in the borough. He was a prom­inent instructor in the unwritten work on Odd-Fellowship. As a sportsman he was an expert with the rifle, having killed more than one hundred deer in Forest County.
