General Notes: Husband - William Mapes


He attended the local schools for some time and later pursued his studies in the old academy at Clearfield, Pennsylvania. Hunting was a favorite occupation in his early days, and at seven years of age he was given a gun, and so proficient did he become in its use that he began to hunt deer when he was ten years old. While still in his teens he began to work at clearing and lumbering, and on reaching manhood he went to Philadelphia [sic] and purchased a tract of land above town, where he then resided. His farm, which he called the "Clover Hill" farm, contained 160 acres, all under improvement, but he had owned 440 acres. The original survey was incorrect, and Mr. Mapes lost 100 acres thereby. The estate was valuable merely from an agricultural standpoint, but it was also underlaid with coal. In addition to this farm, where he resided for nearly sixty years, Mr. Mapes owned 160 acres on Reed Ridge, in Lawrence township, and 30 acres in Goshen township, Clearfield County.
