General Notes: Husband - Jacob G. Proper

---

At an early age, with several of his brothers, he engaged in the lumber business on Tionesta creek, Forest county, PA. At the expiration of eight years, having succeeded well in the lumber industry, he returned to his old homestead, married, and settled on a farm at the Diamond. A family of three children blessed his home, all of whom were married and living in Venango County in 1890. During his long residence in Venango county he had the confidence and esteem of the community in which he lived, and held several positions of trust, being a justice of the peace for ten years and postmaster for a long term. He was a stanch Republican ever since the founding of that party.
