General Notes: Husband - Theophilus Pantall


He was reared to farm work, and his education was obtained in the schools in the vicinity of his home. After engaging in business he was chiefly occupied with lumbering and real-estate interests, but he became a leader in many of the enterprises which developed the resources of the locality and pushed Punxsutawney to the front.
He was largely engaged in dealing in live stock, principally for the local market. He slaughtered from 500 to 1,000 head of beef cattle annually. He was one of the promoters of the enterprise which resulted in the securing of the Punxsutawney Iron Works, and was also the largest contributor to the enterprise. In addition to his possessions in Punxsutawney he had a fine farm of 200 acres in Young township. Although Mr. Pantall took a keen interest in public questions and was a steadfast Republican, he was never an aspirant for office. His first vote in a Presidential campaign was cast for Abraham Lincoln. Socially he was identified with the F. & A. M., the I. O. O. F., and the K. of P. He and his family attended the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
