General Notes: Husband - Benjamin F. Baskin, Esq.

---

He was educated at Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania, from which institution he graduated in 1839. He read law with John Lashells, then of New Berlin, and was admitted to the bar in 1842. He began the practice of his chosen profession in Mercer in 1843, being a portion of the time that he remained in the county seat in the office of John Hoge. In 1849 he removed to Greenville, and ten years later to Meadville, and for three years was associated with the Hon. S. Newton Pettis in the practice of law, in the latter named city. He returned to Greenville in April, 1862, where he died later that year. He served one term as district attorney of Mercer County.

There are several mentions of him in the source, unfortunately, two wives are mentioned and no indication is given that he was married twice, but that assumption seems necessary.
