General Notes: Husband - John A. Saxman

---

He attended the local school, and helped his father on the farm, remain­ing with him until twenty-four years old. In 1895 he opened a lime quarry on his farm and burned lime, selling it in the district. This was one of the largest lime quar­ries in the section, and its product was recog­nized as being second to none. In addition he was an engineer in the Dayton Coal Com­pany's mines. A stanch Republican, he served several times as judge of election. Fraternally he belonged to the Mod­ern Woodmen of America, Dayton Camp. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Church.
