General Notes: Husband - John Lang, Jr.

---

He spent his youth on the home farm, working in the fields through the summer, while in the winter he attended the public schools and worked in his father's woolen-mill. When twenty-three years of age he rented a woolen-mill in Blairsville, Pennsylvania, and a year later admitted his brother, William, to a partnership in the business. Three years later he sold out and came to Jefferson County, where he worked for his father until purchasing his own mill in 1868. This plant was erected at a cost of $6,000, and was subsequently improved with new machinery. His business was profitable, and in addition to this interest he had a good general store and a farm of 135 acres, from all of which he derived a good income. He and his wife were consistent members of the Presbyterian Church, in which he served as elder for over twenty-five years. He was formerly a member of the Odd Fellows Society and the Grange at Brookville.
