General Notes: Husband - David Littell


He received the meager education which fell to the lot of a country boy of that period, and at an early age commenced to labor with his father in the cultivation of the homestead. Later he established himself in the tanning business, and had a large tanyard. By means of conveying old towboats to their destinations he was enabled to make his first purchase of hides, and from this small beginning he grew to be a man of considerable fortune. He became the owner of four hundred acres of land on which, in 1851, he erected a fine brick house. At one time he held the rank of lieutenant in a rifle company. He was very active in religious circles. He was a member of the Service United Presbyterian Church.

He was a tanner and conducted a tannery at Service, in Beaver county, and also farmed his extensive farm lands in that neighborhood. He was a member of old Service church of the United Presbyterian denomination. In politics he was an old-line Whig.
