General Notes: Husband - Samuel Lewis Kester

---

When a child of seven years, S. L. Kester accompanied his parents to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and spent his boyhood on the homestead farm near Lumber City. In 1860 he began learning the carpenter's trade under the direction of A. C. Moore, with whom he worked for three years.

He lived on the old Wall homestead for twenty-eight years or more, locating there in 1868.

He was reared by his parents in the faith of the Friends Church, and he and his family held membership therein. In politics he was first a Republican, but later supported the Prohibition party. He held the offices of school director and overseer of the poor.
