General Notes: Husband - F. B. Irwin

---

He was born at the homestead in Lawrence township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and during his youth he had the benefit of the wholesome surroundings and occupations incident to life on a farm. He received a common-school education, and in 1860 engaged in the lumber business with his father at Bald Hill, where he remained about eleven years. Until the spring of 1871 Mr. Irwin resided at Bald Hill, but he then removed to the old family homestead, which he had purchased. He made many improvements on the place, especially in the buildings, and while residing there continued his lumber business, being extensively engaged in logging and rafting square timber to the eastern markets. In the spring of 1891 he located at Clearfield, where he purchased a lot on Walnut street and built an attractive residence.
Coming from Old-line Whig stock, he was always a stanch Republican, and at times he did effective work for the party. His family was identified with the Presbyterian Church at Clearfield.
