General Notes: Husband - Philetus Wilton Raymond

---

He was reared and educated in his native place, and his earlier years were spent as a clerk in his father's store. In 1853 he entered the employ of Aaron W. Raymond, then engaged in the furnace business at Raymilton. A few years afterward he removed to the village of Cherry Tree, and engaged in merchandising. Subsequently he was elected postmaster of the house of representatives at Harrisburg, and re-elected to the same position. Some six years prior to his death he formed a partnership with his brother, W. K., and engaged in the clothing business, but in 1879 the latter was succeeded by Frank N. Raymond, his eldest son, who continued the business after his death.
Mr. Raymond was a Mason, and was buried with the usual honors of that fraternity.
The following tribute to his character is copied from the Venango Spec­tator, whose veteran editor knew him well from childhood up to his death: “Here where his life was passed his friends included almost all who ever knew him. His disposition was genial, yet he had sufficient force of character to assert himself when necessary, and to treat those who were deserv­ing of his regard better than those who were not. As a business man he was prompt, energetic, and obliging; as a friend he was true to what he professed; and as a citizen he was alive to his duty as a member of the community, and interested in its welfare.” [HVC 1890, 764]
