General Notes: Husband - James J. Hurd

---

He was three years of age when his parents removed to Pennsylvania, and five years old when they settled in Mercer County. His early educational advantages were limited to a couple of months' attendance each year in the common schools, and amid the rugged scenes of farm labor his youth and early manhood were passed. While still a youth he took up the carpenter's trade, and for a period of twenty-five years followed that occupation in Mercer and adjoining counties. In 1864 he moved to Venango County and purchased a farm, located about two miles west of Utica, but a short time afterward he rented his place to his son, and moving to Franklin, resumed his trade in connection with rig and tank building. After a few years at the county seat he returned to his farm.
In politics Mr. Hurd was an earnest Republican, and a warm friend of temperance reform. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church for many years.
