General Notes: Husband - Hamilton R. Post


He was educated in the schools of South Franklin Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and through life his main interests centered there. From boyhood he was familiar with farming and stock raising and his long experience made him very successful. He devoted quite a large amount of attention to growing wool and had 500 sheep and also horses and cattle. He had 177 acres in the farm on which his son Homer S. Post lived, and Mrs. Post was the owner of the Demas Lindley farm of 272 acres, which was willed to her by her uncle, Demas Lindley, by whom she was reared, as she was but ten days old at her mother's death. In 1905, Mr. Post purchased a tract of 20 acres, on which formerly stood the blacksmith shop of William Manor, and there, in 1906, he erected a fine modern, two-story and a half brick residence, which was one of the most attractive rural homes in that part of the county.
For many years he was a deacon in the Bethel Presbyterian Church at Van Buren, for a long time previously having been a member of the Upper Ten Mile Presbyterian Church. In politics he was identified with the Democratic party to a large extent, although his views on temperance led him to also consider the claims of the Prohibition party.
