General Notes: Husband - David Irvin

---

He was a native of Centre County, Pennsylvania, and on coming to Clearfield County, he purchased 185 acres of wild land in Brady township adjoining the town of Luthersburg, where he extensively engaged in the manufacture of sawed lumber and shingles. He did not confine his attention to one line of business, but was interested in a number of different enterprises. In connection with farming and lumbering he conducted a general mercantile establishment in Luthersburg for a number of years, and once each year would make a trip to Philadelphia to buy goods, traveling either on foot or by stage. His stock would then be shipped by canal to Lewistown and brought from there to Luthersburg in wagon until the Pennsylvania railroad was completed to Tyrone. In the 1850s he purchased a large tract of land on Little Anderson creek, where he erected a sawmill and engaged in the manufacture of lumber, which he would haul to Curwensville or raft down the river to the Eastern markets.

He and his wife began housekeeping in Luthersburg, Mr. Irvin building a residence and store building near where the Methodist Episcopal Church later stood. In 1858 he erected a more commodious residence on his farm at the east end of the village, and there he continued to make his home until called from this life.
