General Notes: Husband - Alexander S. Berryhill


He received a common-school education in the home district. After marriage he and his wife immediately settled in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, where they re-mained nine years; they then went to Burlington, Iowa, being there one year, thence moved to Lancaster, Wisconsin. They remained three years in the latter place, when his father died, and they returned home to Washington County, Pennsylvania. He settled in Cross Creek, where he remained for some years. He then spent some time in Florence and at Cumberland, West Virginia, and removed from Cumberland to Burgettstown at the time the railroad was being constructed. The railroad passed the town about half a mile north-east, and the station was called Cardville, by which it was known until the towns were incorporated as one, under the name of Burgettstown, in 1881. Mr. Berryhill built the first house in Cardville, and started a grocery store, continuing in this business until 1887, when he retired from active business and lead a retired life.
In religious faith he and his family were active members of the Presbyterian Church. In politics he was a Democrat, having cast his first vote for Jackson.
