General Notes: Husband - Jesse Lines


He was born in Nittany Valley, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and was about eleven years of age when he accompanied his parents to their new home in Brady township, Clearfield County. His education was limited to
four months' attendance at school. He married and then purchased 175 acres of land which was covered with a heavy growth of timber. He built a hewed-log barn and commenced clearing the place. Acre after acre was transformed into productive fields until the entire tract was under a high state of cultivation, and in 1861 he erected a large frame barn and also improved his residence. In 1872 he removed to a mill property which he had purchased some years previous of David Welty. It comprised fifty acres of timber land, upon which he erected a dwelling house, barn and sawmill. Even when eighty years of age he was still engaged in the manufacture of lumber, personally looking after every detail of the business, and doing his own filing and other labors connected with the mill. In 1869 he purchased another tract of wood land of Mr. Ashenfelter, consisting of 123 acres between his mill and Salem. In 1886 he purchased a tract of wood land from R. H. Moore, consisting of fifty acres, which joined the Ashenfelter property, formerly purchased by him, which made a total of 173 acres.
He was a pronounced Democrat, and he filled the offices of supervisor, auditor, school director and assessor a number of times. Both he and his wife were devout members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
