General Notes: Husband - John M. Peebles

---

He was reared and educated in Plum township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, and spent the major part of his life on part of his father's old farm, in the northwestern part of Cherrytree Township, not until two years of his death buying a place near the home of his son Jesse A. During the early part of the Civil war he tried to enlist in the Union army, but being then under the required age was refused. Farming was his life work, and he was one of the leading agriculturists and stockmen in his section, making a specialty of the breeding of Percheron horses and graded beef cattle. Like other members of the family he gave public-spirited official service to his fellow citizens, holding the position of school director for five years, and taking a live interest in the local welfare.
