General Notes: Husband - Henry "Gum" Nolph

---

He was born in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and ran away from home when twelve years old, traveling on foot to Clarion County, where he settled among the Indians at the mouth of Town run. This adventurous beginning to his career was quite typical of his character\emdash energetic, self-reliant, fearless, enterprising; in short, he had the very traits most necessary to a successful fight for existence in the wild region he chose. Hunting was his principal occupation at first, but later he engaged in lumbering, building the first sawmill in Clarion County, at the mouth of Town run. He ran the first lumber taken from that point to Pittsburgh down Red Bank creek, making the trip back up river by canoe, and bringing material for his sawmill and other supplies by the same conveyance. He also had the first gristmill in the county, and owned the site where the town of New Bethlehem now stands. In 1842 he suffered great loss by the flood, the worst ever known in that section, which carried away his home, sawmill and all other buildings, destroying the work of years.

Mr. Nolph attained the great age of eighty-eight
years, dying in. Clarion county ; and his wife, Sarah (Reed), died there aged ninety-nine years, eight months.
