General Notes: Husband - David Way

Curwensville, Clearfield Co, PA - a blacksmith

In the country schools near his boyhood home he obtained his education, and was reared to the honest toil of a farmer, remaining with his father until he had attained his majority. After his marriage he began the struggle of life for himself, for three or four years working as a farm hand, but in 1864 he purchased a farm of one hundred acres. Half of the place had been cleared and a small log house erected, but this he replaced by a commodious, two-story residence, good barns and outbuildings, and eventually had eighty acres of the land under a high state of cultivation. It was situated three miles northwest of Curwensville, and was underlaid with a fine grade of fire clay and other mineral deposits. For many years during the winter season he engaged in lumbering and rafting, but later gave his exclusive attention to his agricultural pursuits.
In politics, he was a stanch adherent to the principles of the Republican party. He and his wife were faithful members of the Friends Church.

He and his second wife were distant relatives.
