General Notes: Husband - John Sphar
He owned seventy-five acres of the old family homestead in Allen township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he followed general farming. He cast a vote for William Henry Harrison, and beginning at the organization of the Republican party was one of its most earnest supporters, and served as a member of the school board and also as supervisor. He was licensed as an exhorter and class-leader in the Ebenezer M. E. Church, with which his wife was also identified.
He was born on the old home farm and later became the owner of 100 acres of fine land. In the course of time, owing to railroad extension and other developing causes, this land became particularly well adapted as the site of a town, and Henry C. Sphar gave the land on which the railroad built the first station - the nucleus of the place, and John Sphar named the hamlet Lucyville, in honor of his wife, Lucy Ann (Scott) Sphar, who was a native of Washington County. The station and hamlet grew into a village, and into a prosperous town, and in the course of time absorbed more and more of the Sphar farm, and when a postoffice was established the name of Roscoe was given it.
