General Notes: Husband - Jacob Minich

---

His boyhood was passed in his native township, where he attended the district schools, and he assisted his father with the farm duties, also working for his father in the lumber woods. In 1878 he moved to Knox township, Jefferson County, PA, there clearing a tract of 175 acres of timber. In 1890 he came to Armstrong County, although he continued his lumbering interests in Jeffer­son and Clarion counties, remaining there until 1911, when he returned to Jefferson County, and later was living on and conducting a seven-acre tract at North Freedom, although prac­tically retired. In addition to his other opera­tions, he conducted a sawmill in Knox township, Jefferson County, for sixteen years, and was successful in that line as he had been in others. Few men understood lum­bering so thoroughly as he, for when he be­gan working in the woods he built himself a frame house there and lived in the midst of his operations. In addition to his home prop­erty he owned 140 acres of land in Armstrong County, three other tracts of 211, 100 and 140 acres, respectively, and 175 acres in Knox township.
Politically he was a Republican, and he held the office of school director and supervisor in Armstrong County. Formerly he was a member of the American Mechanics and the Grangers of Jefferson County. For years he was a member of the United Evangelical Church of North Freedom, which he served as trustee, steward and Sun­day school treasurer.
