General Notes: Husband - Edward Briggs

---

He was born on the homestead in Waterford township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, and received his educational advantages in the common schools of the district. With the exception of a few years his entire life was spent on the homestead farm, which he purchased from his father. At the age of thirty-one years he left the farm, returning five years later, and remained four years. He then sold it to his sister, Mrs. Hope, and removed to Harbour Creek, where he remained one year, then lived in Mill Creek for another year, in Waterford township for two years, and then removed to Waterford borough, where he built a beautiful residence on High street. At the expiration of one year, he again went to Mill Creek, and at the end of another year returned to Waterford, where he lived thereafter. For a number of years he was successfully engaged in the painting and paper-hanging business. He was also interested in fine breeds of poultry, and had a fine flock of carefully selected stock. He was reared in the Christian faith, and was a faithful follower of this doctrine. In political matters he was Independent, preferring to be free from partisan ties. He was a member of the local Grange, Patrons of Husbandry.
