General Notes: Husband - Robert Sutherland

---

He attended the subscription schools of the locality of his birth, and was early trained to the arduous duties of farm life, which was his vocation from boyhood.
After his first marriage he settled on a farm in West Finley township, and successfully followed agricultural pursuits until 1874, when he retired from active labor and moved to the borough of West Alexander, where he then resided.
He was a Republican since the organization of that party, prior to which he was a Whig and a strong anti-slavery man, a "conductor on the underground railroad," having frequently aided in securing the escape of slaves to the free soil of Canada.
