General Notes: Husband - John Alexander Cowden


He received his early education in the public schools of Washington County, Pennsylvania, and this was supplemented by attendance at the Hickory Academy. Upon the completion of his education he became an active assistant of his father in the cultivation of his various farms, and became thoroughly familiar with every detail of farm management. About the year 1903 he removed to the farm owned by his father in Hanover township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He brought it to a fine and profitable state of cultivation, and was progressive in his methods. He raised general farm products, and was also to a considerable extent a stock raiser. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church, and he gave his political support to the Republican party.
