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.
