General Notes: Husband - Samuel Semple

---

He was reared in the usual manner of farmer lads of the neighborhood. He assisted in clearing the old homestead, and in the work of plowing, planting and harvesting. He married and for a year remained on his father's farm. In 1872 he bought seventy-five acres of partially-improved land adjoining the old homestead, and on the place made extensive and substantial improvements. He removed the stumps, built a large bank barn and wagon shed, and developed one of the best improved country homes in Clearfield County. In connection with agricultural pursuits he followed lumbering.
The family were members of the United Brethren Church.
He was a stanch Republican, and took an active part in promoting educational interests, serving for many years as school director.
