General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Irwin
He was born in what is now Adams County, Pennsylvania. He came west and lived many years near Ebenezer, Indiana County. After his marriage he settled on the farm in Armstrong County, where he resided until his death. His principal occupation during his life was farming. He was an elder in the Glade Run Presbyterian church.
He hunted much in his early life and in after years he could relate many reminiscences of his adventures. One amusing story ran as follows: "He treed a bear on a tall, dead oak. The bark came loose on which the bear was, and bark and bear together started down the tree, when bruin hugged the tree so he could stop himself and his bark, but he was not contented to be still and when he tried to ascend, he would again start coasting towards terra firma, which he reached in due time, all safe and sound, right side up with care, and dashing into the brush he easily made his escape, for Mr. Irwin was so nearly convulsed with laughter, that it was impossible for him to shoot."
