General Notes: Husband - Jacob Vonada

---

He was born in Hartley township, Union County, Pennsylvania, but when only a few months old was taken by his parents to Penn's Valley, Centre County, locating near Woodward. Later they removed to Nittany Valley, same county.
During his boyhood and youth he attended the district schools of Penn's Valley, which at that time were not noted for their efficiency. He began his education in the Harper school, under the direction of Jacob T. Meyer. In early life he also learned the blacksmith's trade at "St. Paul's Church," in Haines township, Centre County, under Squire Jacob Hosterman, but, not liking that occupation, he devoted most of his attention to agricultural pursuits. On the farm where he was reared, he spent forty years of his life.
After his marriage, he continued to reside on the old homestead in Haines township, Centre County, as his father had removed to a place near Hublersburg in Nittany Valley, and the son remained until April 4, 1876, when his father purchased a tract of 119½ acres in Lamar township, Clinton County, known as the Best farm. After the death of his mother John and Jacob Vonada purchased the Best farm, where Jacob resided till the spring of 1897, when he removed to a residence in Porter township.
He was always unwavering in his support of the Democratic party, and he served as deacon and elder in the Lutheran Church, with which he was connected.
