General Notes: Husband - Anthony Doverspike
He received his education in the schools of Mahoning township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and worked on the farm for his father until he attained his majority. He then went into the lumber business, which he continued until 1872, after which, for five years, he was in business at Eddyville, Red Bank township, carrying on a store. For some time he owned a farm in Mahoning township, which he sold, however, buying a tract of 175 acres in Red Bank township, which he cultivated until his retirement. After he retired from active work, a few years before his death, his sons conducted the farm for him. Mr. Doverspike was very much interested in the Pittsburgh, Shawmut & Northern railroad, commonly called the Shawmut road, and he was instrumental in having it constructed through Red Bank township. He took up many options on coal in his township, which he sold to the railroad company, profiting handsomely by this operation. Mr. Doverspike held the office of school director for several terms. He was a prominent member of the Lutheran Church at Eddyville, which he served in the capacity of elder for many years, and in politics was a Republican.
