General Notes: Husband - Martin H. Luther
He was born in what is now Pike township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.
At the age of six years he moved to the new home at Luthersburg, Pennsylvania, where he grew to manhood, receiving a common-school education. After his marriage he bought fifty-one acres of woodland, which became the nucleus of his homestead. He built a log house and barn, and proceeded to clear the place which he improved extensively as time went on, erecting a large bank barn in 1845, and a commodious dwelling house in 1857. He added two adjoining tracts of thirty and fifty acres respectively, making more than 130 acres in all, and his management kept the entire estate in a fine state of cultivation. Politically he was a Jacksonian Democrat, and after he cast his first vote for Van Buren, in 1836, he steadfastly adhered to that party. He held a number of township offices, and was county auditor for three years. In religious faith he inclined to the Baptist Church, in which he was reared, but his wife was a Presbyterian, and their daughter belonged to the M. E. Church.
There were no schools near his home, and in 1826 he attended school for a time in Salona, Centre County. In 1827 the first school house in Brady township was erected at Luthersburg, and from that time he received his instruction there. He was a hardy youth, of excellent abilities and much determination and at the early age of thirteen he was sent to carry the election returns of his locality to Curwensville.
Of ten children, seven lived to adult age.
